PREFACE.

In presenting this work to the Public, the Compilers feel themselves called upon to
explain the feelings by which they have been actuated, and the motives in which it
originated. Such an explanation is however in a great measure superseded by the
deep interest and melancholy pleasure the work is calculated to excite, in the bosom of
every relative or friend (in this country as well as in Europe)— on finding that the
names of those whom they loved, regarded, esteemed or admired, are not altogether
forgotten. Feeble though the attempt may be, something, however, has been done
to perpetuate the memory of those who claim our affection or veneration : and also to
evince respect for those whose remains lie entombed in this quarter of the Globe. Nor
will it be deemed a work of supererogation to convey, by the medium of this work, to
sorrowing connections in Europe, or elsewhere, the pure and consolatory satisfaction,
that the last mark of respect and duty to departed worth, has not been omitted by
their sorrowing friends and that the sacred deposits still remain with us, — are still
kept in view, and as piously cared for, as on the day of their first interment.

With such views, and with the desire to preserve from unmerited oblivion the
hitherto neglected Biographies of India, — the Compilers have connected with the
Obituary, Memoirs of the most distinguished men in the annals of Indian History ;
— ^men, who have, at the sacrifice of their Uves, gradually raised the British Indian
Empire to its present state of stability and eminence, by consohdating its Government,
ameliorating the condition of its subjects, and embracing their temporal and spiritual
happiness through the education of its people, and the protection of their rights and
liberties from the encroachments of invading and cruel enemies.

These great and good men have glided away from the stage on which they have
shone so conspicuously : and it is the object of the Compilers, by this humble attempt
to perpetuate, cherish, and embalm their memory, which becomes doubly dear from the
consideration that they have fought, bled, and devoted their entire Hves and energies to
promoting the glory of their country and the good of the people over whom Providence
has willed that they should rule.

The objects attained by this publication ar^ calculated to be two-fold : while it is, on
the one hand, a memorial of such as have passed away from time to eternity, it will
serve, on the other, and in a great measure, to influence the conduct of succeeding rulers,
(in whose hands may be placed the future destinies of this vast empire,) exciting in
them an honest spirit of emulation and a desire to imitate the virtues of their illustrious
predecessors and thus secure for them a niche in our affection, and a claim to the like
tribute to their own memory : nor is it for those alone who hold the reins of adminis-
tration that the lesson conveyed by these reminiscences will obtain a due effect : since to
every class and grade of society, the manifestation that there is no station of life wherein
the good and honest men may not have their names and deeds imperishably recorded
will become at once apparent. Who will deny that the sight of a mere Monument has
not repeatedly inspired martial enthusiasm, the flame of patriotism or the emulation of

genius in the youthful breast. '' Siste viator, heroe/n calcas" has awakened ardour in
the minds of all who have perused the tablet. How much more then is not a memoir
of the great actions of illutrious men, in every department of usefulness^ calculated to
arouse attention and induce the like endeavour.

It is utterly impossible to trace back the period when Monuments and Monumental
Inscriptions were first adopted to commemorate the acts and actions of illustrious men.
It is certain, however, that for all the ends and purposes enumerated. Monuments existed
both in ancient as well as modem times. To us it appears, and we have the testi-
mony of Holy Writ on this head, that their first origin may be traced as far back as
the Universal Deluge, when the Rainbow was made, or selected, a standing token of the
most awful judgment inflicted on a guilty world for its consummate wickedness, as well
as a memorial of the subsequent love and pity displayed by the offended Deity after his
divine justice has been satisfied.

Although it is not in the power of all to command splendid Monuments, or rich
Inscriptions, over the remains of their departed friends and relatives, yet they may
be able to take effectual measures for securing those remains from premature decay,
mutilations, or insult, by proper sepulture ; and it is remarkable, that it is in those
communities only which are the most deeply impressed with that article of our faith
the " Resurrection of the body*' that any real care is evinced in this respect .

It would be an unpardonable inadvertence were we to omit the mention of our
grateful thanks to Gentlemen here, and in the Mofussil, by whose generous contri-
butions our Obituary has been enriched, and who have helped us, with a friendly
hand, to bring this compilation to a close — ^the aid they have afforded being a sure
testimony of the interest they themselves have taken in the work we originally
projected.

The Obituary comprehends events connected with a long series of years ; viz. from
the first formation of the British settlement to the present time ; and includes a great
number of Monumental Inscriptions, Memoirs and short Obituary Sketches. To the
candour of a generous public, the Compilers submit their work, the first of a compre-
hensive kind hitherto attempted in this country. The motives which prompted a
publication on this plan cannot be wrong ; but if they have failed to realize their ideas,
it is only because it is easier to project than to execute — to know what is right, than to
be able to perform it. Every endeavour has been made to insure success, and no source
of information has been left unexplored, or expense spared, in obtaining it, so as to
render the work acceptable to subscribers. The Compilers, therefore, indulge the hope
of a hberal patronage, which, if it be commensurate to the expenses incurred, will
encourage them to offer a second volume by way of continuation, the collection of
materials for the same being under course of arrangement, if the favor shown to the
first attempt warrants a prosecution of the labour.

genius in the youthful breast. " Siate viator, heroem calcaa,** has awakened ardour ia
the minds of all who have perused the tablet. How much more then is not a memoir
of the great actions of illutrious men, in every department of usefulness^ calculated to
arouse attention and induce the like endeavour.

It is utterly impossible to trace back the period when Monuments and Monumental
Inscriptions were first adopted to commemorate the acts and actions of illustrious men.
It is certain, however, that for all the ends and purposes enumerated, Monuments existed
both in ancient as well as modem times. To us it appears, and we have the testi-
mony of Holy Writ on this head, that their first origin may be traced as far back as
the Universal Deluge, when the Rainbow was made, or selected, a standing token of the
most awful judgment inflicted on a guilty world for its consummate wickedness^ as well
as a memorial of the subsequent love and pity dbplayed by the offended Deity after his
divine justice has been satisfied.

Although it is not in the power of all to command splendid MonumeutSj or ridh
Inscriptions, over the remains of their departed friends and relatives, yet they may
be able to take effectual measures for securing those remains from premature decaj,
mutilations, or insult, by proper sepulture ; and it is remarkable, that it is in thooe
communities only which are the most deeply impressed with that article of our faith
the " Resurrection of the hodxf^ that any real care is evinced in this respect •

It would be an unpardonable inadvertence were we to omit the mention of our
grateful thanks to Gentlemen here, and in the Mofussil, by whose generous oontri-
butions our Obituary has been enriched, and who have helped us, with a friendly
hand, to bring this compilation to a close — ^the aid they have afforded being a sure
testimony of the interest they themselves have taken in the work we originally
projected.

The Obituary comprehends events connected with a long series of years ; vie. from
the first formation of the British settlement to the present time ; and includes a great
number of Monumental Inscriptions, Memoirs and short Obituary Sketches. To the
candour of a generous public, the Compilers submit their work, the first of a compre-
hensive kind hitherto attempted in this country. The motives which prompted a
publication on this plan cannot be wrong ; but if they have failed to realize their ideas,
it is only because it is easier to project than to execute — to know what is right, than to
be able to perform it. Every endeavour has been made to insure success, and no source
of information has been left unexplored, or expense spared, in obtaining it, so aa to
render the work acceptable to subscribers. The Compilers, therefore, indulge the hope
of a liberal patronage, which, if it be commensurate to the expenses incurred, will
encourage them to offer a second volume by way of continuation, the collection of
materials for the same being under course of arrangement, if the favor shown to the
first attempt warrants a prosecution of the labour.

vi PREFACE.

genius in the youthful breast. " SUte viator, heroem calcaa,** has awakened ardour in
the minds of all who have perused the tablet. How much more then is not a memoir
of the great actions of illutrious men, in every department of usefulness, calculated to
arouse attention and induce the like endeavour.

Although it is not in the power of all to command splendid Monuments, or rich
Inscriptions, over the remains of their departed friends and relatives, yet they may
be able to take effectual measures for securing those remains from premature decay,
mutilations, or insult, by proper sepulture ; and it is remarkable, that it is in those
communities only which are the most deeply impressed with that article of our faith
the " Resurrection of the hodxf^ that any real care is evinced in this respect .

The Obituary comprehends events connected with a long series of years ; viz. from
the first formation of the British settlement to the present time ; and includes a great
number of Monumental Inscriptions, Memoirs and short Obituary Sketches. To the
candour of a generous public, the Compilers submit their work, the first of a compre-
hensive kind hitherto attempted in this country. The motives which prompted a
publication on this plan cannot be wrong ; but if they have failed to reahze their ideas,
it is only because it is easier to project than to execute — to know what is right, than to
be able to perform it. Every endeavour has been made to insure success, and no source
of information has been left unexplored, or expense spared, in obtaining it, so as to
render the work acceptable to subscribers. The Compilers, therefore, indulge the hope
of a liberal patronage, which, if it be commensurate to the expenses incurred, vdll
encourage them to offer a second volume by way of continuation, the collection of
materials for the same being under course of arrangement, if the favor shown to the
first attempt warrants a prosecution of the labour.

THE

BENGAL OBITUARY

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH.

The first stone of this handsome edifice* was laid on Tuesday the 6th day of April, 1784, on the
morning of which Mr. Whaler, then acting President, proceeded from the old Court House attended by
the chief officers of State and the principal inhabitants of Calcutta, to the ground upon which the sacred
edifice was to be erected. The first stone was laid by Mr. Wheler with the usual ceremonies ; a Prayer
was read on the occasion by the Rev. W. Johnson, Senior Chaplain, and a plate of Copper was inserted
in the Stone, bearing the following Inscription : —

The must stone op this Sacred Building,

Raised uy the liberal and voluntary

SuDSCRiPTioN OP British Subjects,

AND others,

was laid under the auspicp^ op

The Honorable Wauren Hastings, Esq.

Governor General of India,

ON the 6th day of April, 1784 ;

AND IN THE 13x11 YEAH OF HIS GOVERNMENT.

It may be raRntioned as an instance of the comparatively high remuneration awarded to European skill
sixty years ago, that the English engraver charged 232 Rupees for his work.

Lieut. Agg, of the Engineers, had the entire construction of the building ; it was completed by a
design furnished by himself. There is some difficulty in ascertaining the exact cost of the church ;
upwards of a lac and a half of Rupees appear to have been expended upon it up to April 1787, exclu-
sive of the remuneration to the Architect, which was Sa. Rs. 22,793, being 15 per cent, on the amount
expended. Nearly the whole of this sum [with the exception of the grant from tlie Court of Directors
of jf 1, 200, and 14,000 Rs. granted by the Government] was raised by voluntary contributions.

On the 24th of June 1787 the church was consecrated and dedicated to St. John, by a special act of
consecration sent out by the Primate, the Rev. William Johnson and tlie Rev. Thomas Blanshard, were
chaplains. The Governor General, Earl Comwallis, attended, with all tlie principal officers of the State,
and during the Anthem a collection was made for the benefit of the Charity School, amounting to
Sicca Rupees 3,943-3.

Sir John Zoffany bestowed on the Church that admiral)le altar])iece painted by him, representing
"The Last Supper.'* It was proposed by the Rev. W. Johnson, and Cudbert Thornhill, Esq. as Sir
John Zoffany was about to leave Calcutta, to present him with a Ring of 5,000 Rs. value, in considera-
tion of this signal exertion of his eminent talents. The low state of their funds prevented other members
of the Coinniittee from supporting the motion of Messrs. Johnson and Thornhill ; but they unanimously
agreed in sending Sir John Zoffany an honorable written testimonial of the respect in which they held his
great abiliti<», as an artist. From their liandsome and appropriate letter the following is a paragraph : —

'* We sliould do a violence to your delicacy, were we to express, or endeavour to express, in such terms
as the occa'iion calls for, our sense of the favour you have conferred on the settlement by presenting" to their
phice of worship, so capital a painlifjj? that it would aduru the first church in Europe, and should excite iu
the breasts of its spectators those senUinents of virtue and piety so happily pourtrayed in the figures."

liord Minto, who was appointed Governor General of India on the 31st of July 1807, died suddenly
the 21st of June 181 4, at Stevenage, about a month after his return to England from India. He was on
his way to Scotland and had left London in a bad state of health. In the course of his illness he had no
presentiment of approaching dissolution, and seemed only anxious to proceed on his journey and reach
Minto as early as possible. In his domestic circle no man ever displayed a kinder heart or was ever
more a&ffectionately beloved.

* The first church erected in Calcutta (also called St. John's), stood at the western extremity of whnt is
now known as Writers* Buildings ; it was destroyed at the capture of Calcutta by Suraj-ud-Dowla in 1756,
oiler it had been in use for about 40 years.

2 ST. JOHN'S CHURCH.

Lord Mtnto ia the author of a number of beautiful little poemn, " The Minto Vision/' descriptive of
the romantic seat of his ancestors, and is a production of high merit.

Every man who is proud of contemplating examples of private munificenoe, will acknowledge with
pleasure the feeling and generosity of this illustrious person, who was resolved at his own exi>ense to
erect a Cenota]ih at Barrackpore to the memory of those brave oflQcers and men who fell gloriously in
the conquest of Bourbon, Mauritius and Java.

It was during Ix>rd Minto's administration in India, that St. John's Church was enlarged and im-
proved at the expense of Government.

" Thy name revered through India's distant clime
Shall live triumphaat o*er the wrecks of time."

Governor— JOB CHXRSOCK,— (The Founder of Calcutta.)

Mr. Chamock was the first Englishman who made a conspicuous figure in the political theatre of
India. He was the founder of the British Settlement of Calcutta ; and may be said to have laid the
first stone of the mighty fabric of our Indian Empire.

When peace was established between the great Emperor Aurungzebe and the English Company, Job
Chamock, the Company's Chief at Hooghly, twice removed the factory, and in the year 1CH9-90,
finally formed an English Settlement at Calcutta, which ere one century terminated^ b^»me a mighty
city---the magazine of trade — ^the arbitress of kingdoms — and the seat of empire.

Mr. Orme says, ** Mr. Chamock was a man of courage, without military experience ; but impatient
to take revenge on a Government, from which he had personally received the most ignominious treat-
ment, having been imprisoned and scourged by the nabob."

The sense of such an indignity was, doubtless, deeply rooted in the mind of Chamock, and, perhaps,
was one of the reasons for the severe usage of the natives, ascribed to him by Captain Hamilton.

Before, or about the year 1678-79, Mr. Chamock, smitten with the charms of a young and beautiful
Hindu, who decked with her most pompous ornaments, and arrayed in her fairest drapery, was at the
point of sacrificing an innocent life, of (perhaps) fifteen summers on the altar of Paganism, directed hi.s
guards to seize the half-unwilling victim ; the obedient guards rescued her from an untimely death, and
Chamock softly conducted her to his house. They lived together many years. She bore to him several
children, and dying shortly after the foundation of his new dty, was entered at the Mausoleum, which
to tins day stands entire, and is the oldest piece of masonry in Calcutta.

If we are to credit Captain Hamilton (who had the story from existing authorities) his sorrow for tlie
loss of this lady was unbounded, and the public method be took of avowing his love, was carried to an
unusual though innocent excess. So long as he lived, he, on the anniversary day of her death, sacrificed
a Fowl in her Mausoleum, We now, through the vale of time, cannot trace his reasons for this extra-
ordinary ceremony. We refer the reader to the Epitaphs for further information respecting Chamock's
family and connections in India.

From an oral tradition still prevalent among the natives at Barrackpore (now an established Military
Cantonment, fourteen miles distant from Calcutta)* we learn that Mr. Chamock built a bungalow there,
and a flourishing Bazar arose under his patronage, before the settlement of Calcutta had been determined
on. Barrackpore is at this day best known to the natives by the old name of Chanock^ and Captain
Hamilton, misled by their method of pronunciation, invariably writes the name without the letter r.

Governor Job Chamock died on the 10th of January, 1692 ; and if the dead knew any of the living,
and could behold with mortal feelings this sublunary world, with what sensation would the Father of
Calcutta glow to look down this day upon his city ?

The following is the Inscription taken from his monument situated on the north of the church.

Brfore the commencement of the year 1802, the Tombe in the Cemetery qf Calcutta had fallen into
a state qf irreparable decay, and to prevent any dangerous accident, which the tottering ruins threat ^
ened to such as approached them, it was deemed necessary to pfill dotcn most of them and clear the
Burial Ground which had long been out of use , only leaping those tombs of which the Inscriptions were
legible, and the Sepulchre of the Chamock Family, The stones and marble tablets were carefully
cleared from the rubbish and laid at the base of Job Chamock*s Monument, where they are still to be
seen in excellent preservation, the Inscriptions arc in raised letters, and are as fresh as when first cut.

MRS. FRANCES JOHNSON— frAi? oldest British Resident in Calcutta.)

Died on the 3rd February, at her late dwelling house, to the Northward of the Old Fort, Calcutta, the
venerable Mrs. Frances Johnson, in the 87th year of her age, the oldest British resident in Calcutta. This
lady was the second daughter of Edward Crook, Esq. of Herefordshire, Grovemor of Fort St. David, on
the coast of Coromandel, and was bom on the 10th of April 1728. Mr. Crook, previously to his return
from India, was offered the Government of Fort St. George, but declined the appointment, on account
of his age and infirm health, and returned to his native country, where he was received with high respect
by the Court of Directors of the East India Company.

In 1738 Miss Frances Crook, in the 13th year of her age, married Parry Purple Templer, Esq.
nephew to Mr. Braddyll, then Governor of Calcutta, by whom she had two children, both of whom
died young. In about five years after her marriage, she was left a widow by the death of Mr. Templer.
She married secondly, James Aitham, Esq. a CivU Servant on the Bengal Establishment. This second
union was of short duration ; in twelve days after his marriage, Mr. Aitham died of the small-pox.

Mrs. Aitham remained a widow for about two years, when she married William Watts, Esq., then
senior Member of the Supreme Council, and subsequently appointed Governor of Calcutta ; but at the
time his appointment reached India, he was on his return to England. In 1756, when Calcutta was
taken by Suraj-ud-Dowlah, Mr. Watts was chief at Moorshedabad, and both he and Mrs. Watts were
in that city at the time of the surrender of Fort William. The Nabob, elated by his momentary suc-
cess, threatened destruction to every British subject, male and female. Mr. Watts and his family were
placed in custody at Moorshedabad, to await the arrival of the Nabob ; but they were both favourites
of the B^um, the mother of the Nabob, and to her friendship they were both indebted for tlieir pre-
servation. On tins occasion, Mrs. Watts was placed under the same roof with the ladies of the Nabob's
Court, by whom she was treated with the utmost delicacy, kindness and respect. At the expiration of
thirty-seven days, and while the Nabob still continued in the vicinity of Calcutta, the Begum found a
safe conveyance for Mrs. Watts, and sent her, under an escort, by water, to Chandemagor, where she
was received with all possible hospitality and attention by M. Lauss, the French Governor.

Her husband being still closely confined at Moorshedabad, Mrs. Watts addressed a memorial to her
friend Uie Begum, entreating her kind offices for the release of her husband. The Begum possessed
great ascendancy over her son, the Nabob, and at her intercession, he consented, though with great
reluctance, to the release of Mr. Watts, who was thus safely restored to his family.

Mrs. Watts had four children by her third husband, one of whom died in early infancy ; with the
other three, namely, a boy and two girls, Mr. and Mrs. Watts, about the year 1760, returned to Eng-
land, where the eldest girl, Amelia, a lady of great beauty and accomplishments, married the Right
Honorable Charles Jenkinson, afterwards Earl of Liverpool. The second daughter married George
Foyntz Ricketts, Esq. formerly Governor of Barbadoes. *

Mr. Watts died in England ; and the state of his affairs in India, requiring the presence of his widow,
Mrs. Watts returned to Bengal about the year 1769 ; and on the 1st of June, 1774, she gave her hand
to the Reverend William Johnson, principal chaplain to the Presidency of Fort William, who returned to
England in a few years after his marriage, and Mrs. Johnson continued ever since to reside in Calcutta,
in a style of dignified hospitality. Her manners were cheerful, polished, and highly pleasing. She
abounded in anecdote ; and possessing ease and affability of communication, her conversation was al-
ways interesting, without any tendency to fatigue the hearer. She had a strong understanding, to which
she superadded much and accurate observation. Her views of life were correct, and the benevolence of

SIR ROBERT HENRY BLOSSET, Kt.— (Late Chi^ Justice of the Supreme Court.)

The death of this distinguished character took place about 9 o'clock on the evening of Saturday, the
1st of February, 1823. He was interred the following evening in the ground belonging to St. John's
church on the western side of the compound.

Of Sir Henry Blosset's professional character we know but little ; but it cannot fail to be highly
estimated, when we state, that short as the allotted time was since he first landed in India, (scarcely
two months,) he had, in that brief period, impressed all the professional gentlemen of the Court with
the most favourable opinion of his abilities as a lawyer, and his highly eminent character as a firm and
impartial judge. In his private relations we know still less of Sir Henry Blosset ; but we have learnt
from a private source, an account of his sublime and impressive death, which, of itself, is a sufficient
pledge that his life was upright, just and honourable. A few hours only before his dissolution, having
necessarily become acquainted with the dtmgerous nature of his case, he sent for his Medical attendants,
intimating his wish to speak a few words to them in private. One of the Physicians in attendance, soon
after this, approached his bed-side. Sir Henry, who then lay with his eyes clossed, took this gentle-
man's hand, and telling him he was aware of his danger desired earnestly to know to how many hours
his earthly duration might probably extend. His Physician answered, that painful as such a communi-
cation must necessarily be, if he earnestly desired to know, he should but ill-discharge his duty if he
withheld from him the true state of his case.

He was then informed, that the circulation having ceased at the extremities, and his pulse being no
longer sensible, many hours could not roll by before his dissolution came. He received this communi-
cation with that composure which spoke his perfect preparation for the awfiil event ; and after returning
his thanks in the most impressive manner, to his medical attendants and friends, for the care and atten-
tion they had shown during his illness, he poured out his soul in fervent prayer, expressing the content
and resignation with such he should render up his spirit to God who gave it, and imploring the blessing
of Heaven on the Hindoo world ; trusting that the Almighty, in his own good time, would bring them
to the knowledge of the true religion, and call them from darkness to light. After this last effort of
piety, benignity and love, which proved his end to be in charity with all mankind, he died in peace,
leaving an example of manly fortitude and holy resignation, as sublime in its nature as it must be
consoling and beneficial in its influence.

Sir R. H. Blosset descended from eminently pious parents, and his mother, who long survived her
partner, imparted with the most unwearied diligence, the principles of genuine piety to all her children ;
to her endeavours, success was granted through the divine blessing, in every instance. With r^ard to
Sir Henry, it must be confessed, that the ensnaring influence of the world, at his first entrance into

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH.

public life, did, for a little season, draw away hii heart from God ; but the principlefl which a mother
gave him were never wholly eradicated from his breast ; and when, through the preaching of a faithful
minister of the established Church in London, he was awakened from sin, they soon flourished with
increased vigor. Being ashamed, yea, even, confounded, because he did bear the reproach of his youth,
he fled witli repentance and faith to tlie Saviour's cross, from whence he never afterwards wandered.

The University to which he belonged, is Oxford ; having flnished the usual course of education there,
he chose for his profession the noble study of the law. With what plea.<ure do we add his name to that
long list of distinguished lawyers, who have rendered splendid talents still more illustrious by extraordi-
nary piety.

Much need not be said in proof of his possessing great talents ; for the circumstance of his being
appointed Chief Justice of this Province, shows how highly they were estimated by those in authority,
and by aU who became arxjuainted with him. As a natursd consequence of such talents, improved by
unwearied industry, and adorned by the most winning sweetness of manners, he rose gradually to the
highest honours of his profession. It pleased God to crown his labours with abundant increase of riches,
still further enlarged by the fortune of a relation which was bequeathed to him ; he however set not hi*
heart upon these things ; his bounty was ever as profuse, as his means were large ; his thoughts were
not for himself, but for others ; and remembering who was tlie giver of all, he rendered unto Him again,
in acts of mercy and charity, a large portion of that which he had received. It is not surprising that to
such a person every thing connected with the endeavour to spread the Redeemer's Gospel should be an
object of interest, and that all such exertions should be encouraged by him to the utmost, and Societies,
having that object, supported largely by his bounty. This they were indeed. Among the varied regions
of tlie earth to which his attention was directed, as spots where Missionary exertions were making, none
seemed so intensely interesting to him as India. He loved, he pitied, he prayed for the people of India.
When therefore his appointment was oflfered to him, and an opening seemed to be made for his doing
some good in that very land, so long the object of his attention and prayers, he did not hesitate to resign
a very lucrative practice, and to quit forever, (as he himself presaged) his native country. Thus giving
up for the benefit of others, that which he had acquired in England, he came hither for the puq)ose of
doing good, by every means in his power ; and especially by using that influence, which his rank and
fortune would give him to promote the spiritual, as well as the temporal welfare of the Hindoos.

The interval of a sea voyage, to most persons tedious, and to some intolerable, was to him a refreshing
season of enjoyment. Being now relieved from the cares and ceaseless hurry of business, he set himself
to study more diligently than ever the Sacred Scriptures. This he managed to connect also with the
study of Extern languages, in which he made so good a progress, that, (although labouring without a
preceptor's aid, and at the moment of his leaving England quite ignorant of them) before he landed in
India, he was well versed in Hindoostanee ; possessed a competent knowledge of Persian, and waa
making considerable advances in Sanscrit. In Hindoostanee, indeed, he became the preceptor of others,
who will long remember his condescension and ])atience in teaching them. With respect to European
languages his knowledge was prodigious. He was perfect master of French, Italian, German, Latin,
Greek, and had some knowledge of Spanish. With the sacred tongue (Hebrew) he was familiarly
acquainted, and often spoke of it with delight. To all these attainments were added a profound, solid,
knowledge of the Law, which alone is the labour of a life to many. Such is the man whom it pleased
God to preserve safe through the dangers of the mighty deep, to bring him to the land where hia
presence was most anxiously desired, and where he himself longed to be ; to give him just a sight of
those things in which his heart rejoiced, and then, on a sudden, to call him into his own presence.

The loss in this benighted land is irreparable. Where shall the man possessed of so many qualifica-
tions be found to supply his place } These and a thousand other thoughts and questions are apt to
spring up in our hearts ; but let us be still — and know that it is God who has done it, and that He
doeth all things for the best.

THOMAS FANSHAW MIDDLETON— (^frW Protestant Bishop and Metropolitan of all India.)

Thomas Fanshaw Middleton, was the only son of the Rev. Thomas Middleton, Rector of Kedleston
in Derbyshire, and was bom at that village on the 26th of January, 1769. His mother Elizabath, was
the daughter of John Bott, Esq. of Burton upon Trent. The first rudiments of knowledge were incul-
cated by his father, a man of learning and respectability. On the 21st April 1779, the subject of our
memoir was admitted into Christ Hospital, where he was distinguished for serious reflection and steadi-
ness of conduct. The advantages of education there lilierally bestowed were acknowledged with grati-
tude by Mr. Middleton in his progress through life. Even when engaged in the arduous duties of his
Bishopric in India? he remembered with feelings of filial regard the place where he had received so much
benefit. Being desirous to express the sincerity of his thankfulness more strongly than by words, he, in
the year 1821, transmitted to Christ's Hospital, a donation of four hundred Pounds, and shortly after
he was elected a Governor of that excellent Institution.

From school, he was admitted into Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, where his habits were studious and
his companions literary. He took the degree of B. A. in January 1 792, being in the scale of honors,

8 ST. JOHN'S church:

fourth of the senior Optimi ; and in March following, having been ordained Deacon by the Bi«hdp of
Lincoln, he entered on the duties of the Church, as Curate of the Pariah of Grainitborough m Lincoln-
Bhire. Here he conducted a small periodical work, called " The Country Spectator,'' which existed
only eight months. His reputation as a Clergyman and a scholar, introduced him to tlie notice of Dr.
Jolui Pretyman, Archdeacon and a Preceptor of Lincoln, and brother of the Bishop, who in the year
1794, entruHted him with the education of his two sons.

In 1795 the father of his pupils presented him to the Rectory of Tensor in Northamptonshire. His
mind was now intent upon domestic happiness, and, in 1799, he married Elizabath, the eldest daughter of
John Maddison, Esq. This lady was his amanuensis in transcribing all his manuscripts for the press.

In 1802 Mr. Middleton received, from the same patron, a presentation to the consolidated rectory of
Little Bytham. His fondness for local history, as well as general information, induced him to make
excursions into the country, in which he was often accompanied by Dr. Sayers, whose taste for antiqua-
rian research corresponded with his own, and whose character he held in the highest esteem. But
graver studies occupied his chief attention, and particularly the language of Scripture. He was now
writing his principal work, ** The doctrine of the Greek Article, applied to the criticism and illustratiMi
of the New Testament."

In 1808 he took the degree of D.D. at Cambridge, and preached the inangurative sermon before
that University.

Early in 1810 he began to act as a Magistrate for the county of Northampton, an office which did not
accord with the duties of the tutor or the habits of the student ; yet, during the short time he filled this
situation, he closely applied his talents to the cases that were brought before him, and administered the
law with the strictest impartiality.

In A])ril 1812, he was collated by the Bishop of Lincoln to the Archdeaconry of Huntingdon. A
man of Archdeacon Middleton 's character could not long remain unnoticed by the higher clergy of the
Metropolis, and his exertions in the pulpit were often called for in behalf of Charitable Institutions.
Dignitaries and Prelates now cultivated his society.

The state of religion in India, hitherto neglected, at length attracted the attention of the Legislature,
and in an act for the renewal of the Charter of the East India Company, a provision was made which
enabled the crown to constitute a Bishopric, with such jurisdiction and functions as should, from time
to time, be defined by Hb majesty, by letters patent under the great seal of England. The Company was
charged with salaries to be paid to the Bishop and three Archdeacons ; Calcutta was erected into a Bishop's
see ; and Archdeacon Middleton selected to fill the important station. At first he shrunk from the magni-
tude of the charge, and declined it ; but upon more mature consideration, he thought it unworthy of a
Christian minister to suffer either the difficulty of the office or dangers of the climate, to deter him from
the performance of a duty to which Providence seemed to call him. ** You will easily imagine," says
the author of his memoirs, ** that in accepting this office I have sustained a severe conflict of feelings.
I had even declined it. But when I came to settle the account with my own heart, I really found that
I had little to allege in behalf of my decision. I began to suspect that I had yielded to some unmanly
considerations, when I ought rather to have counted my comfort, and my connections, and my prospects
at home, as altogether worthless in comparison with the good, of which it might possibly be the design
of Providence, to make me the instrument. How far even now I have reasoned rightly, God alone knows,
but I have endeavoured to view the subject impartially, and I trust the Almighty to bless the work in
which I am to engage." He was consecrated on the 8th of May 1814, by the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, assisted by the Bishops of Lincoln and Salisbury, in the Chapel of Lambeth Palace. Tlie ojipor-
tunity of extending Christianity in the East, was thus enlarged by the establishment of Episcopacy in
Cal(nitta, and the appointment of so zealous a member of the Church and so firm a supporter of the
Society for promoting Christian knowledge as Bishop Middleton, could not fail of behig noticed by
that Institution. The Committee granted his Lordship a vote of i:,'! 000 to promote the objects of the
Society in India, in such ways as he should deem most consonant to its designs.

On the 19th of May, 1814, Bishop Middleton was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society; and having
taken leave of his friends in the country on the 8th of June, he and Mrs. Middleton, and Archdeacon
Loring, sailed from Portsmouth on the " Warren Hastings" for Bengal. On the voyage the vessel
touched at Madeira, and the Bishop preached in that Island ; being probably the first Prelate of the
English Church who had performed such an office before its inhabitants.

During his voyage he laid down the following rules for his future conduct. " Invoke divine aid. Preach
frequently, and as one having authority. Promote schools, diarity, literature, and good taste : nothing
great can be accomplished without policy. Persevere agaiiKst discouragement. Keep your temper ; em-
ploy leisure in study, and always have some work in hand. Be punctual and metJiodical in business,
and never procrastinate. Keep up a close connexion widi friends at home. Attend to forms ; never be
in hurry. Preserve self-possession, and do not be talked out of conviction. Rise early, and be an
economist of time. Maintain dignity without the appearance of pride : manner is something with every
body, and every thing with some. Be guarded in discourse ; attentive, and slow to speak. Never
acquiese in immoral or pernicious opinions. Beware of concessions and pledges. Be not forward to
assign reasons to those who have no right to demand them. Be not subservient, nor timid in manner,
but manly and independent, firm and decided. Think notliing in conduct unimportant and indifferent.
Be of no party. Be popular, if possible, but at any rate, be respected ; remonstrate against abuses,
where there is any chance of correcting them. Advise and encourage youth ; rather set than follow
example ; observe a grave economy in domestic affairs. Practise strict temperance. ' Remember what
is expected in England — and lastly, remember the first account."

He arrived in Calcutta on the 28th of November of the same year, and was received witliout any pub-
lic testimony of respect — but his private reception was such as was due to him as a Bishop.

On Christmas-day, 1814, he delivered his first sermon in the Cathedral of Calcutta, from Lake, iL
10, 11. ** For behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which sliall be to all people," &c

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH. 9

On the first establishment of Episcopacy in India, it was difficult for the novernment of England to
define the powers of the Bishop. The ground was to be tried ; and as circumstances occurred he found
it necessary to seek direction, and authority to meet them, from the Crown, which had placed him in the
See ; consequently, the effect of his exertions could not be commensurate with the advantage he contem-
plated, for he had not the means of bringing it to a completion. Still he was asidnous in his endeavours
to ascertain the state of the mind in his extensive diocese, and lost no opportunity of affording inter-
views to those who sought a conference.

In the January following his arrival, the Bishop proceeded to appoint Registrars in the three Arch-
deaconries, and to forward the instruments of institution to the Archdeacons tlicmselves. Having
placed the proper officers in the ecclesiastical departments, other bu>iiiess demanded his attention. One
of the first steps for improvement was, the formation of a School Society at Bombay. His early atten-
tion was also directed to the education of children in the city of Calcutta. Tlic system pursued in the
Free School was improved under his direction. He became its Patron, and projected aniiunl examina-
tions. His Lordship took part in these examinations and distributed the j»ri/es. This had its due effect
upon the spectators, and shortly after, a native waited upon him with a donation of 500 Rs. He then
became the visitor of the Orphan School.

In December 1815, he held his primary visitation at Calcutta, which was attended by ten of the
Clergy, the rest being absent at the distance of many hundred miles from that city. And on the 18th of
the same month, His Lordship, accompanied by his family, quitted Calcutta, to make a similar visitation
of his Diocese ; an undertaking not to be accomplished under 5000 miles. He was conveyed to
Madras where he landed on the 26th, and on Sunday after his arrival preached at the New Church dedi-
cated to St. Greorge, which he consecrated on the 8th January 1816, and on the day following, he held
a confirmation consisting of 278 persons. From Madras, which he quitted on the 31st January, pass-
ing through Pondichcrry, Cuddalore, and Tranquebar, Tanjore, Arisont. Trichinopoly, Parumbutty,
Polowcottah, Nazeenchcrry, Pooramgordie, Quilon, Aleppee, Cochin, and Canuanore, tkc. he arrived
at Bombay on the 14th of May, and there he held a visitation and confirmation, passing his time with
exemplary benefit to the Christian Church. He left that place and proceeded to Goa, (,'aunaiiore, and
Aleppee. He arrived at Columbo on the 21st of October, from whence his Lordship, Mrs. Middleton
and his attendants, returned to Calcutta, which they reached on the 10th of December.

Relieved from the labours of the visitation, he was enabled to apply his mind to the concerns of the
city, and resumed his share in the duties of the pulpit.

On the 7th of August 1818, the Bishop laid the foundation stone of the Church at Dum-Dum. (The
station of the Artillery) which he afterwards consecrated, and in which he confirmed several persons,
chiefly soldiers of the station.

On the 10th of February 1819, he embarked in the Stanmorc to visit his Diocese a second time,
being attended by Mrs. Middleton and his chaplain, Mr. Hawtaync, and anchored in Madras roads on the
27th of the same month. He landed on the following morning, when he was received by the Archdea-
con and Clergy ; from hence he embarked, on the 11th April, to return to Calcutta, via Pcnang, Sunday,
the 13th June, he joined in divine service at Calcutta, with feelings of peculiar delight.

In November 1820, the Bishop laid the foundation stone of a New Church in the Metropolis, in
the centre of a numerous European population, who had no means of attending Divine worship ; near
this sacred edifice, which is dedicated to St. James, a school was erected for the instniction of Christian
poor, the expense of which was defrayed by a legacy bequeathed to the Bishop by an officer, aided, and
by a donation from the Bishop himself. At the same period, in consc(iuence of the invitation of the
Society that he would suggest such measures as might ajipear to him best calculated to promote their
designs, he recommended the establishment of a College in the immediate vicinity of Cidcutta, the
object of which he expressed in the letters which he transmitted to England, and the plan was
worthy of the projector. It was designed for the education of youth in sacred knowledge, in sound
learning, in the principal languages used in the East, and in habits of piety and devotion to their call-
ing, that they might be thereby qualified to preach among the heathen. The favour and jiatronage of
the pubUc in England was eminently shown towards the projected Institution. The plans and esti-
mates for tlic building were matured. A plot of ground on the bank of the river, and within three
miles of Calcutta, containing 20 acres, was granted by Government for its site. To this. Sir C. T.
Metcalfe, then Resident of Hyderabad, contributed a piece of land adja(;ent, by which the estate
was greatly improved. The Societies for the Propagation of the Gospel antl Promoting Cliristian Know-
ledge, gave each 5,000 Rs. to which the Church Mission Society added a similar donation. Tlie Bishop
contributed 800 Rs. and 500 volumes out of his Library, and Mrs. Middleton ii handsome set of plate
for the communion table. Thus prepared, on the 15th of December, His Lord<iiip, with much solemnity,
laid the foundation stone. The whole arrangement of the building was planned l)y the Bishop ; it occu-
pies three sides of a quadrangle, and contains every requisite for a College, a Hall, a Chapel, a Library,
and Press. The centre is 150 feet in length, and the two wings arc each 150 feet. It stands in a pro-
minent situation, on ground adjoining the Company's Botanic Garden.

Having thus accomplished, in part, what his mind had dwelt upon with intense interest, in January,
1821, he embarked to visit Bombay, which he had not reached in the former part of his second visitation,
he arrived at that presidency in the latter end of Febniary.

On his return from Bombay, on tlie lOtli April, 1821, he went on shore at Cochin, in order to have
an Intel-view with the Metropolitan of the Syrians on some important point. From thence to Cape
Comorin and Ceylon, and back again to Calcutta, where he found presiding during his absence, Messrs.
Mill and Alt, who had arrived from England on the 13th of February to fill the offices of Principal and
Professor of the College.

From the most authentic source of information it appears, that on Monday preceding his death, the
Bishop received the Clergy at dinner, having recently returned to his own house, which had been long
under repair ; and (except that he was much agitated in the early part of the evening, by uiforraation of

10 ST. JOHN'S CHURCH.

gome very improper proceeding on the part of one of his Clergy) he was mrasnally cheerful and
animated.

The next day he went down to the College at an early hour in the afternoon ; from which his physi-
cian, who happened to be in the house in attendance on Mrs. Middleton, endeavoured to dissuade hiniy
but in vain. He promised, indeed, that he would not go again at so early an hour. Little did he think
that he was visiting that favourite spot for the last time.

On Wednesday, he was occupied during 8 hours in writing to Government on the subject of a suit in
the Supreme Court, and, at length declared himself quite exhausted, but proposed to Mrs. Middleton
who, from ill health, had not been out for several days, that she should accompany him in the carriage
before the sun had gone down.

They had not proceeded far, when, at a turn in the road, the descending sun, which is always dan-
gerous, and especially during the damper seasons of the year, shone fudl upon him. A slight cause
from without, added to the present agitated state of his nerves, was sufficient to produce serious effects.
The Bishop immediately declared that he was struck by the sun, and returned home ; but refused to
receive medical advice, and took what was offered him by Mrs. Middleton. When he retired to rest^
symptoms of fever and irritability of mind, increased ; on the following night he was with difficulty re-
strained from rising and pursuing the business that pressed upon his attention.

On Thursday, the fever had increased so much that he wrote to his physician, Dr. Nicolson, a person
in whom he had implicit and well grounded confidence. The Bishop, now indeed appeared sensible of
the extent of his disorder, and said that he thought himself seriously ill, and knew not what would be
the consequence. He sent a letter to his Chaplain to desire that he would take his place in the pulpit
at the Catliedral on Sunday. But neither in this, nor in any other communication to his friends, was
there any intimation of the extreme illness which now oppressed him. They were unconsdous of the
dreadful event which awaited them till two hours before he expired. The Archdeacon, the Senior
Chaplain, Mr. Trotter, whom the Bishop had distinguished by his friendship, Mrs. Hawtayne, and the
physician were with him. He lay for some time exhausted by the violence of the disorder, and breath-
ing violently till just before his departure, when an expressive smile spread itself over his features. So
tranquil was the last moment, that it was not marked by a single struggle.

Thus expired Thomas Fanshaw Middleton, at 11 o'clock on the night of Monday the 8th July, 1822,
in the 54th year of his age, and ninth of his consecration, to the great loss of the Christian Churdi of
British India.

The last offices were performed over the remains of Bishop Middleton on Friday following, the 12th
of July, amidst the lamentations of all ranks of society.

No sooner was the sad event made known in Maidras, in Bombay, and in England, than the several
Societies passed resolutions in honor of his memory, for erecting Monuments in the Cathedral of St.
Paul, in Madras and Bombay, and in Calcutta.

Thus beloved abroad and at home de))arted the subject of this memoir. It only now remains that
it should be closed with some account of his person and disposition.

In person, Bishop Middleton was above the ordinary stature of man ; strongly formed ; of a florid
and commanding countenance ; animated and energetic in his manner. In disposition he was 8ang[uine
and zealous ; ambitious of distinguishing himself amongst the wise and good ; warm and generous to his
friends and placable and benevolent towards all men ; unbending in his principles, but charitable to
those who differed from him in opinion.

As a husband, he was affectionate and exemplary. As a prelate, he was apostolic in his views, vigilant
in his government, and anxious for the diffusion of the gospel even unto death.

It is much to be lamented that in his last will, dated 19th January 1821, he ordered all his manu-
scripts to be destroyed ; amongst these were his admirable lectures on the Litany, which were ready for
the press. Bishop Middleton died without issue, and without any near relations.

liie Bishop, in his will, directed that his remains should be interred in the vault under the College
Chapel, if it were consecrated ; and left an Inscription to be engraved on a tablet in the chapel ; but that
edifice not being com])leted at the time when he died, the following variation of the Inscription, left
also by himself, in case he should be interred elsewhere, is to supply its place.

HENRY LLOYD LORING— (Jfr*/ Archdeacon of Calcutta.)

fire the christian church of tliis city, which had only two months previously to mourn the loss of its
mi^ch respected prelate, could recover from the deep regret occasioned by that melancholy event, the
announcement of the Archdeacon's death, on the 4th of September following, instructed the inhabitants
that another pastoral leader of distinguished piety and zeal, had been removed from his administration.
So well understood were the virtues of Archdeacon Loring, that we cannot do better than give, (in the
absence of all other particulars of his birth, parentage, &c.,) our readers the copy of a publication of
the day, recording the lamentable circumstance of his demise : — '* We yesterday had the painful task
of announcing the death of the Archdeacon of Calcutta ; but we cannot suffer the tomb to close over his
remains without attempting to pay some further tribute of respect and r^ret, which we are enabled to
do through the means of one, who knew him better than we did. Indeed, to do justice to his character,
a more intimate acquaintance was necessary than the mere occasional intercourse of society admitted ;
for although that alone was sufficient to excite feelings of the most cordial esteem, his plain and unobtru-
sive habits withheld from more cursory observation those many traits which rendered him dear to all
who had the pleasure of his intimate acquaintance and friendship. Archdeacon Loring was in every
respect, and in the truest sense of the word, " amiable." It was impossible to know and not to love
him. Honest, plain, and manly integrity ; " doing to others as he would be done by ;" unaffected humili-
ty, esteeming others better than himself; gentlemanly principles and manners and sincere piety, all united
greatly to endear this respectable man to the now sorrowing circle of his friends. The tenderness and
goodness of his heart and the delicacy of his feelings, are deeply engraven on hearts, which have been
soothed and cheered by his kind and affectionate attentions ; while they were also gladdened by the
innocent playfulness of his manners, emanating from the peace of a guileless heart. As a tender husband,
a fond parent, a pious son, an affectionate brother, and a valuable friend, he has left a chasm, which
nothing here below can fill.

His religious character will be judged of according to the views and feelings of those who may dwell
upon his character. If any conceive that christian faith can only be evinced by the adoption of certain
modes of thinking and acting, and are content to view him only as an amiable man, tiiey will be far
from doing him justice, for Christianity entered deeply into his character, and influenced the conduct of
his life. He regarded religion as an awful thing, and cultivated it in humility of heart, and in faith,
conscious of his imperfections and demerits, and therefore void of familiarity and presumption. His
reading was in great measure of a religious kind, and as a proof of the occupation of his mind, when
sickness most probably called him from his desk to his death-bed, a little book which always lay before
him, ^* Doddridge's Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul," was found turned down open to the
chapter, *' On the soul submitting to Divine examination ; the sincerity of its repentance and faith." But
the surest evidence of a tfuly christian temper is charity, in its true and scriptural sense, and with this
grace. Providence had greatly blessed him ; that charity which *' suffereth long and is kind, which envieth
not, vaunteth not itself, b not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not
easUy provoked, tliinketh no evil, rejoiceUi not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth ; which beareth all
things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth idl things." Sincere and honest himself, he was
wholly unsuspicious of others, and was ever ready to view things as favourably as they appeared. If he
differed in judgment and opinion from others, he did it with firmness, because he acted on principle,
but without forgetting his own fallibility ; and if he was compelled to condemn, hating to speak ill of
others, he did it without asperity. His humility was evinced by the directions which he gave at an
early period of his indisposition to a friend who loved him well, respecting his funeral.

The sincere regret wUch follows him, testifies that he was beloved ; and from what we have siud (and
we have not, we think, gone beyond the truth) It will be seen how justly he was so. The veil of eternity
is withdrawn and this guileless christian is gone to appear face to face with his Maker in heaven,
where faith and hope being realized and consummated and where charity holds its blessed reign for ever !"

His remains were interred in the south Park Street Burial Ground on the 4th of September, 1822.

The following lines are Inscribed to his memory on a white marble Tablet, placed on the south of the
communion of St. John's Church.

BISHOP HEBER.

Reg^ald Heber, second son of Tliomas Heber, and Elizabeth Atherton his wife, was bom in the year
1728. On hLs elder brother's death, without heirs male, he succeeded him as Lord of the Manor, and
patron of the Rectories of Marton in Yorkshire, and of Hodnet In the county of Salop, which last estate
had, by intermarriage with the house of Vernon, come into the possession of the family. He married
first Mary, co-heiress of the Rev. Martm Boylie, Rector of Wrentham in Suffolk, who died, leaving one
son, Richard, late M. P. for the University of Oxford; secondly Mary, daughter of Cuthbert Alianson,
D. D. by whom he left three children, Reginald, Thomas Cuthbert and Mary.

12 ST. JOHN'S CHUKCH.

Reginald, the lamented imbjcct of this memoir, was bora April 2l8t 1783, at Malpas in the county
of Chester, of which his father was for many years co-rector. His early childhood was distinguished by
mildness of disposition, obedience to his parents, consideration for the feelings of those around him, and
by that tntst in God's providence which formed, through life, so prominent a part of his character.
When little more than t^'o years old, he was dangerously ill with the hooping cough, for which he was
ordered to be bled ; his moUier took him on her knees, 8a3ring, ** Dr. Currie wished you to loose a little
blood, I hope you will not object ;" his answer was, *' I will do whatever you please, Mama/' On the

nurse screaming out that they were going to murder her child, *' poor ," Reginald said, ** let her

go down stairs." Tlie apothecary then took hold of his arm, on which he exclaimed, '*do not hold
mc ;*' when assured that if he moved he would be much more hurt, ** I wont stir,'' he replied, and
steadily held out his arm, looking the whole time at the operation.

The following year when travelling with his parents in a very stormy day across the mountainous
country between Ripon and Craven, his mother was much alarmed and proposed to leave the carriage
and walk. Reginald, sitting on her knee, said — ** Don't be afraid. Mama, God will take care of us."
These words spoken, as she herself expressed it, by the infant monitor, carried with them conviction to
her heart which forty- three years of joy and sorrow had not effaced. In 1787, he had an attack of in-
flammation of the lungs, and was very dangerously ill. The severe remedies to which he was forced to
submit, were borne without a murmur, and his patience was so i*emarkable, that on his father's asking
the physician, whether there was any hope of saving his life. Dr. Currie answered, ** if he were not the
most tractable child I ever saw, there would be none, but I think he will recover." In childhood he
suffered much from inflammatoiy disorders ; but the hours of convalescence were invariably employed
in endeavouring to acquire information ; and at six years old, after an attack of typhus fever, wUch
again nearly brought him to the grave, the first indulgence for which he pleaded was to learn the lAtin
grammar, that he might have some employment, while lying in bed ; he could read the Bible with fluency
at five years old, and even then was remarkable for the avidity with which he studied it, and for his
accurate knowledge of its contents. About this time a discussion arose one day, during his absence,
between his father and some friends as to the book in the old Testament, in which a particular passage
was to be found. On Reginald's entering the room, his father referred the question to him, when he
at once named botli the book and the chapter.

It was by Mr. Heber's direction that the Bible was first put into his hands in preference to any
abridgment of it, in order that he might become more familiar with its beautiful language and more
ready in applying it to the memory with which he was singularly endowed. He greatly profited by this
system, and its effects were visible in the piety which marked lus youth and became his distinguishing
characteristic through life.

He very early became sensible of the necessity and importance of praying, and was firequently over-
heard praying aloud in his own room, when he little tliought himself within reach of observation. His
sense of entire dependence upon God and of thankfulness for the mercies which he received was deep
and almost instinctive. In joy, as in sorrow, his heart was ever litled up in thankfulness for the
goodness of his Maker, or bowed in resignation to his chastisements, and his first impulse, when afflicted
or rejoicing, was to fall on hLs knees in thanksgiving, or in intercession for himself and for those he
loved, through the mediation of his Saviour. He had a con.siderablc taste for drawings, especially for
architectural designs, and the favourite sketches almost entirely from fancy, which have been preserved
by his family, bear strong marks of genius and bore promise of tlie superiority which, with little or no
instruction, he afterwards attained in that art. The study of natural history was also a favourite pursuit,
and he was fond of exercising his powers of observation in watching the changes of insects and the
various habits of animals and birds ; but the kindness of his heart would never permit him to keep any
creatures in confinement, far less to gratify his curiosity at the expense of their sufferings. When his
little sister had a squirrel given her, he persuaded her to set it at liberty, taking her to a tree that she
might see the animal's joy at being restored to freedom. His mind seemed never to be at rest, and occa-
sionally, when with his play-fellows, he would remain silent, absorbed in his own meditations, and insen-
sible 80 every thing around him, as his memory retained the information he acquired from every possible
source, as his understanding strengthened, he corrected the errors into which his almost unassisted
researclics in various branches of knowledge naturally led him. From a child he was inquisitive, and
always eager to obtain instruction, and never above asking the opinions of others, but with a modesty
of manner, and an evident anxiety to acquire knowledge, which prevented his being thought intrusive,
and insured him the attention of those with whom he conversed. In tliis habit he persevered through
life, and to it he attributed mm^li of the desultory knowledge which he had attained.

It was a common saying among the servants of the family, that Mr. Reginald never was in a passion.
It is not of course intended to assert that he was insensible to tlie natural emotions of anger, but that,
even in childhood, he had so completely acquired the habit of subduing the outward expression of this
feeling, that he was never heard to raise his voice in anger or to use an impatient expression. Reading
was his principal amusement from the time he knew his letters ; his elder brother, (to whose affectionate
superintendence throujijh life of his graver studies, he justly considered himself much indebted.) used to
say, '* Reginald did more than read books, he devoured them." And when thus occupied, it was with
difficulty that his at tent ion could be withdrawn.

After prosecutiiij^ his studies for some time at Dr. Bristow's Academy, in the neighbourhood of
London, he was entered at Brazcnose College, Oxford, and in 1802, he gained tlie University prize for
a copy of Latin hexameters. In the spring of 1803 he wrote his celebrated Poem of Palestine, for
which in that yi-ar, he also obtained a prize. In 1805, he took the degree of B.A. and soon afterwards
gained a third University prize for an essay on the Sense of Honour, after having been elected a Fellow
of All Souls, he quitted Oxford, and proceeded on a tour tlirough Germany, Russia and the Crimea ;
during which he made several excellent notes, afterwards appended to the travels of Dr. Clarke.

On his return to England in 1808, he published a Political Poem entitled " Europelincs on the pre-

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH. 13

gent war." He now retired with his wife, a daughter of Dr. Shipley, Dean of St. Asaph, to the liring
of Hodnet, to which he had recently been presented ; and for sometime wholly devoted himself to the
humble but important duties of his station. In 1815, he preached at the Brampton lecture, a series of
sermons, which he published in the following year, '* on the personality and office of the Christian Com-
forter." About the same time he composed several articles for a Dictionary of the Bible, and printed
a discourse which he had delivered before the Bishop of Chester. In 1822, he was ai)pointed Preacher
at Lincoln's Inn ; and produced a life of Jeremy Taylor, prefixed to a new edition of that eminent
writer's productions. Soon afterwards, he was offered the Bishopric of Calcutta ; which, after twice
refusing, he at length, on the suggestion of his wife, consented to accept, and embarked for the East
Indies, in June 1820. On the 10th of October, he landed at Calcutta.

On his landing in India, the Bishop found a much greater accumulation of ecclesiastical business
awaiting his arrival, than he had expected ; it was such as almost to alarm him, not only by its extent,
but by the importance of the questions immediately brought for his decision, and which his complete
ignorance of the circumstances of that Diocese rendered still more perplexing.

Immediately after Bishop Hcber's arrival in India, he undertook the management of every thing
connected with the College, and assumed, as Vbitor, the power of inspecting its internal arrangement.
Since the death of its founder, the building had, from various causes (especially from the want of money)
been much retarded ; but under his inspection, and with the assistance of the annual liberal grant from
the Church Missionary Society, its progress was rapid. The first Missionaries whom the Parent Society
sent out, Messrs. Morton and Christian, arrived in Calcutta soon after the Bishop ; but as they could
not, at the time, be received into the College, he appointed them to superintend two circles of Bengallee
Schools, supported by the Society for *' promoting Christian knowledge," while they were, at the same
time, acquiring the necessary knowledge of the languages. In January 1824, Mr. Mill, the Principle
Professor, with his wife and family, took up his residence in the College, and in the course of the spring,
a third Missionary from the Society, Mr. Tweddle, and four students, were admitted.

In 1825, the Bishop preached at Bombay, Colombo, and Calcutta, on behalf of the Society for Pro-
pagating the Gospel, more especially with reference to the wants of the Mission College, and very con-
siderable sums were then collected. With the money thus obtained, the College works went rapidly on.
The second and the third Professors, Messrs. Holmes and Craven, accompanied by Mr. DeMellow, a
native Portuguese Indian, who had been educated at Cambridge, and ordained by the Bishop of Lon-
don for the Society's Missions, arrived in the autumn of 1825.

The Bishop on his arrival required that all tlie Church Missionaries should report their names, ap-
pointments and letters of orders to the Archdeacons of the respective Presidencies, for the purpose of
being transmitted to him, that their regular licenses might be made out and returned, in the same
manner as was observed with the Company's Chaplains. In Calcutta, a meeting of the Church Mis-
sionary Society's Associations which had recently been formed in connexion with and by the friends of
the Church Missionary Parent Society, and of which the Bishop was requested to become tlie President,
was called on the 2nd of December, succeeding his arrival. In the course of its proceedings a resolution
was proposed *' that every Missionary of the Society should, on his arrival in Bengal, wait on the Bishop
for his hcense, at the same time he was appointed one of the Vice-Presidents of the Asiatic Society
in Calcutta ; but was prevented, by his more important duties, from taking the active part in their
proceedings, to which the interest he felt in their researches would have prompted him. lie, however,
attended their meetings whenever it was in his power to do so.

The scarcity of Chaplains in the Bengal Presidency and the bad health of some of those who were
resident in Calcutta, made the Bishop feel it necessary to perform as much, or more, duty than he had
been accustomed to in England.

When the Bishop landed in Bengal he took the office of President of the Diocesan Committee of the
Christian Society, established in Calcutta ; the native schools, and the various branches of the Society's
labours in that city shared, in common with other religious societies, much of his time and exertion, and,
as will be hereafter seen, the interests of their missions powerfully engrossed his attention during his
last visitation of the southern provinces of the continent of India.

On the 15th of June 1824, the Bishop began his extensive visitation unaccompanied, save by his
Domestic Chaplain and his native servants. He proceeded to Dacca, Benares, Meerut, Delhi, Agra, by
Neemuch and Mhow, to ' the Northern Churches of the Archdeaconry, and so on to Bombay, Poonah,
and Sholapoor, Madras, Goozerat, &c. The Bishop, in his visitation, inspected the schools, confirmed the
native Christians, and administered the sacrament, manifesting in every place the liveliest interest in
the Missionary cause and gladdening the Church by his presence.

On his return to Calcutta, he put his original intention into execution of forming a District Committee
of the Society for the propagation of the Gospel, on the same footing with those of Bombay and Ceylon ;
and he addressed letters to residents in Calcutta, and to all the influential persons with whom he had
become acquainted on his tour through the Upper Provinces, requesting their assistance in forwarding
his view. He had the gratificatipn of receiving, from almost every quarter, handsome subscriptions and
promises of future assistance.

In December 1825 the Bishop admitted to Episcopal ordination, together with several other candi-
dates, Abdool Mussed, a convert of Archdeacon Corrie's, and a man of considerable attainments. Early
in 1826, tl^ Bishop, accompanied by Mr. Robison, visited Chinsurah, about 20 miles from Calcutta ;
preached on the Sunday, both morning and evening, and was occupied the following morning in looking
over an old house, which had long been the abode of bats and snakes, for the purpose of deciding on its
capability of forming a permanent residence for the clergyman and for the establishment of a school.
Here he caught a fever, which confined him to his room for several days after his return to Calcutta.
There was one peculiarity attending this illness wliich threw some light on the cause of tlie last fatal
event at Trichinopoly. The affection of the head with which Bengal fever is invariably accompanied,
produced so great a degree of dea&ess that he could hardly hear the questions of the medical men who

attended him, nor did this symptom immediately decrease when the fever subsided. Soon after hii
recovery, he sailed for Madras, where he arrived late in February, and was received with great kindness
by Sir Thomas Munro, and by all the members of the Madras Government. For his intended viattation
the Bishop, with his accustomed indifference to personal comforts, had only applied for the services of a
Native Doctor in case of illness among his escort and servants ; but the Government not only appointed
one of the best Surgeons on the Matk-os Establishment to attend on him, but directed the Town Major
to provide every thing for his comfort and accommodation which the heat of the weather would permit ;
notwithstanding, a feeling, prophetic of the fisital event, seems to have existed in Sir Thomas Mnnro's
mind ; for he more than once expressed an earnest wish that ** the Bishop's visitation might not end
ill.'' He left Madras on the 13th March 1826, with cordial feelings of attachment to the inhabitant,
and increased interest in this important portion of his diocese. On the 17 th he arrived at Pondicherry.
after an intensely hot march, and found tents pitohed on a burning sand about a mile from the town.
On the 18th reached Cuddalore, and left it on the 21st, making a night's run to Chillumbra. On the
25th he arrived at Tanjore, which he left on the 30th of March, and reached Trichinopoly on the 1st
April. On Sunday the 2d April, the morning after his arrival, he preached at the Government Chnrdi ;
in the afternoon he confirmed 42 persons. As soon as he returned home from the performance of
this duty, he complained, for the first time, of a slight head-ache and general feeling of languor. At
daybreak on the ftttal 3d of April, he went to the Mission Church in the Fort, where senrioea were
performed in the Tamul language, after which he confirmed 15 Natives in their own language ; and
again delivered his address on confirmation ; he afterwards went to the Mission House and examined
into the state of the schools. On his arrival at home (Mr. Bird's house) before he took off his robes,
he went into Mr. Robison's room, and sitting down by his bedside, entered with energy into the
concerns of his Mission. His interest had been much excited by all that he had seen. He spoke with
sorrow of the poverty which the house displayed, and remark^ how necessary it was for the Biahop to
have regular reports from every mission in India, that he might at least know the wants and necessities
of all. He then retired into his own room, and, according to his invariable custom, wrote on the badL
of the address on confirmation, Trichinopoly, April 3d, 1826. This was his last act; for immediatety
on taking off his clothes, he went into a large cold bath, where he had bathed the two preceding morn-
ings, but which was now the destined^jigent of his removal to paradise. Half an honr after, his servant,
alarmed at his long absence, entered the room and found him a lifeless corpse ! Every means to restore
animation which human skill or friendship could suggest, was resorted to ; but the vital spark was
extinguished and his blessed spirit had then entered upon its career of immortality, and perhaps .was at
that moment looking down with fond pity on the exertions of those who would fain have recalled it to
ito earthly habitation, to endure again the trials and temptations of the world it had quitted. His
mortal remains were attended to fiie grave with the highest honours, and followed by the tears of the
inhabitants of Trichinopoly. They rest on the north side of the altar in St. John's Church.

The government of Madras also ordered a marble to be placed over his grave and a Mural Tablet to
be erected to his memory la St. John's Church at Tichinopoly, with the following Inscription :—

Hodnet (and in the Bishop's College of Calcutta). A marble Stetue was also erected under the Eastern
Portico of St. John's Cathedral, Calcutte, and has been recently removed to that of St. Paul's in Chow-
ringhee. ♦

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH. IS

BISHOP J. T. JAMES.

Jobn Thomas James, D.D. late Bishop of Calcutta, was born on the 23rd January 1786, at Reigby,
in Warwickshire, and was the eldest of eight children, which Dr. James had, by his second marriage
with Arabella, daughter of William Caldecott, Esq. He received the rudiments of his education at
Reigby School, under the immediate eye of his father ; till, at the age of twelve, he was placed on the
foundation at the Charter-house, by the late Earl of Dartmouth, one of the Governors of that Institu-
tion, where he soon won the good opinion of the head master. Dr. M. Raine. Besides distinguishing
himself in the several studies of the School, he here began to show considerable talent for drawing, and
in 1803 the first prize medal was awarded to him, by the Society for the encouragement of Arts and
Sciences, for a drawing of Worcester Cathedral. His own inclination, at this time, was to go to sea, and
he show^ great fondness for every pursuit connected with naval tactics ; but at the earnest wish of his
mother, he forbore to indulge the inclination, and soon began to turn his mind to that profession, in
which he afterwards attained so high a rank.

After he had been selected to deliver the annual oration at the Charter-house, in May 1804, he was
removed to Christ's Church, Oxford, where he entered as a commoner ; but had scarcely begun to reside
there, when the death of his father deprived him, at once, of his best instructor and ablest guide. He
soon after was examined for his B. A. degree, and continued to reside at Christ's Church, where he was
deprived of his books and drawings, and indeed of all that he possessed, by an alarming fire ! It may be
worth mentioning, as characteristic of Mr. James, that, bereft as he was of all his little property, so
soon as he found that the flames were extinguished, he calmly set down and made a sketch of the tire,
from which he afterwards finished a large drawing !

After proceeding to the degree of M. A. in 1810, he became a tutor in Christ's Church, till an
opportunity occurred of indulging his wish to see foreign countries. In 1813, he went to the conti-
nent, and on returning back to England, Mr. James published his travels in one volume, of which three
editions were called for in succession. At the wish of his friends he published a series of views taken
during his tour. In 1816 he visited Italy, and soon after his return, was admitted to Holy orders,
resigning his studentship at Christ's Church, on being presented by the Dean and Chapter to the small
vicarage of Flitton. Here he followed those literary pursuits, to which he had become deeply attached,
and published *' the Italian Schools of Painting," the success of which work led him to publish in 1822
" the Flemish, Dutch, and German Schools ;" he had it in contemplation to proceed to the painters of
the English School, and also those of France and Spain ; but his attention was now engrossed by a
more serious subject. In consequence of the daring attacks of infidels upon Christianity, he published
a volume entitled ** the Semi-sceptic, or the common sense of religion considered."

In 1823, he married Marianne Jane, fourth daughter of T. Reeves, Esq, to whom alone, during his
illness in India, he was indebted for all the earthly comfort that smoothed lus bed of suffering in the last
hours of his life.

In 1826, when the intelligence reached England that the see of Calcutta had become a second time
vacant by the lamented death of Bishop Heber, an invitation was transmitted to Mr. James to fill that
highly responsible situation. Upon receiving the offer, he at first declined it ; but being afterwards
strongly advised to reconsider his objections, he determined to consult the best medical advisers as to
the fitness of his constitution for enduring the climate of India. Finding that two able Physicians, who
were acquainted both with his constitution and the climate of India, coincided in opinion, that there
was nothing in the state of his health which ought to deter him from going to that country, he felt
that he could no longer answer his own conscience if he declined a post on account of its danger, and
therefore made up his mind to accept it.

The University of Oxford paid him the compliment of conferring on him the degree of D.D. by
Diploma, and on Whit-Sunday, June 3d, he was consecrated Bishop of Calcutta. On the 9th July he
quitted London with Mrs. James, and leaving their two elder children under the care of Mr. and Mrs.
Reeves, set out for Portsmouth.

On Friday, January 17th, 1827» the vessel on which he had embarked, arrived off Kedgeree, and was
riding at anchor there when the long-wished for steamer was seen making her way towards it. Arch-
deacon Corrie, Dr. Mill, Mr. Eales and Mr. Abbott, were on board to pay their respects to their new
Diocesan, as were also Mr. W. Cracroft, Mr. A. Prinsep and some other private friends, who accom-
panied the Bishop and his family on board the Steamer amidst the waiving of hats and salutes ; as
soon as they landed, the Bishop was immediately conducted by the aid-de-camp of the Governor Grene-
ral to the Government House, where he was most kindly welcomed by Lord Amherst. The next day,
being Sunday, the whole party with gratified hearts went to the Cathedral, where the Bishop was
received by the Archdeacon and Clergy and enthroned with the usual ceremonies in that seat which was
shortly to be again vacant by his decease.

The business of the Diocese, at all times too much for the charge of one Bishop, had fallen into most
extensive arrear during the vacancy of the See ; many important cases had been awaiting the Bishop's
arrival, and he found that they embraced matters of no ordinary delicacy and anxiety. To these, he
immediately directed his whole attention ; leaving the arrangement of his household and domestic affairs
to Mrs. James.

The first object which engaged his attention was the advantage which would arise, if eadi of the
Company's chaplains could have some particular district assigned to him, within which it should be his
duty to visit the sick and perform all parochial duties : — for this purpose, he divided the city of Calcutta
into three ecclesiastical districts, the new Church in Fort William making a fourth. The benefit arising
from th&se divisions was obvious to all, and was promulgated, with a plan of the districts annexed,
under the sanction of the Governor General, in a Gazette extraordinary April 3d, 1828.

On the 10th of March the Bishop appointed Mr. Robinson, Chaplain to the late Bishop Heber, to
the vacant Archdeaconry of Madras. This was the only piece of preferment which it fell to his lot to bestow.

IS ST. JOHN'S CHURCH.

The time had now arrived when the Bishop was to commence the visitation of his Diocese, and he
had decided to commence with the Presidency of Bengal ; which alone he expected would occupy him
for eight or nine months. Arrangements for this purpose were made with all possible expedition,
because, since his arrival in India, he had undergone repeated attacks of illness, and was much
weakened by their force. Dr. Nicolson seemed to think that great benefit might be expected from the
bracing air of the river ; accordingly, on the 2 1th June, the Bishop left Calcutta for the Upper Provinces.

On the 16th July, he reached Bhaugulpore and felt the passage favorable to the recovery of his
strength, while pursuing his journey, ** In hope and not in fear," as he often expressed to her in whose
affectionate confidence every feeling of his heart reposed. About noon the Bishop was this day so ill,
that he could not land till the evening ; he was then, with difficulty, moved on shore to the house of
Mr. Nisbet, the Magistrate. The pain in his side had increased with such alarming violence that it
excit«d the worst apprehensions ; medical assistance was promptly and vigorously engaged. The doctors
urged an immediate return to Calcutta, but it was not till Wednesday July 23d, that the Bishop and
Mrs. James returned to their ]jinnace and began to retrace their voyage, when they reach^ the
metropolis on Thursday the 31st (a council-day) just in time to send in a letter to the Government
before the Council broke up ; the Governor General and Lady William Bentinck immediately sent to
offer the use of Government House, which was near the river ; but Dr. Nicolson came on board and
wished him to remain on the pinnace, desiring however that no time should be lost in getting out to
sea ; Penang was considered the best place for the present, until the patient had recovered strength
fiufiicient for a voyage to England.

On Wednesday the 6th August, the Bishop left Chaundpaul Ghaut, proceeding to the H. C. Ship
** Marquis Huntley," which was then lying in Saugor Roads and ready to proceed on her voyage to
China ; on the evening of Saturday the 9th of August, the party reached the '* Marquis Huntley," and
his Lordship was soon comfortably placed on a sofa in the cabin ; his spirits were raised by finrimg
himself at sea ; he was free from pain ; he thought he was certainly better, and for some days the
hopes of all around him were raised ; but the shivering fits which shortly came on, followed by -violent
perspirations and the most distressing hiccups, convinced Dr. Spens, and others that he was really getting
worse. On Thursday the 21st a great and unhappy alteration had taken place, though he still thought
himself better. Mrs. James, seeing this, made up her mind, with the fortitude which became her, to the
trying task of communicating to him the awfiil truth. Great was her agony in this afflicting hour ; hut
her sobs were suppressed for the sake of him whose slumbers she was watching. It was his delight,
that she should regularly read to him some portion of the Scriptures every morning. She at length
disclosed to him the delusiveness of liis hopes, and the reality of his situation. After a momentary
pause, he thtrnked her most warmly, and said, "If it is so, my hope and my firm faith is in Jesus
Christ!" He aftej?wards determined that they should receive the Holy Sacrament together the next
morning ; and at intervals, in the course of the evening, calmly gave directions about his papers ; and
having instructed Mr. Knapp, to add a few lines which he directed to a document relating to the
Bishop's College, with great effort he held the pen, while his hand was guided to make his signature to
it ; having so done, he observed, ** now every thing is off my hands."

The next morning, August 22nd, 1828, he received the Sacrament with Mrs. James, at the hands
of Mr. Knapp, and afterwards made many Christian reflections on the state of the soul, while strength
remained for utterance, but now, only in a low wiiisper. As evening came on, it was evident he was
sinking, and that the hour which was to close his useful and active life, was drawing near. The feet
became cold and the eyes dull, the hands refused any longer to answer the grasp of affection, he sunk
into a dose, and at nine o'clock quietly resigned his spirit into the hands of his Creator and Redeemer.

It was thus in the second year of his consecration for the government of the Indian Church that
Bishop James departed. His mind was, by nature, quick and vigorous ; and to the acquirements of a
scholar and a highly cultivated taste in the fine arts, he added a large stock of general information, the
result, not only of private study, but of much travel in foreign countries, and acute observation of human
nature. Such accomplishments, united with sound judgment, most cimciliating manners, and the mcHC
sterling recommendations of real Christian benevolence, and a warm and generous heart, readily woo
for him the esteem and regard of all who knew him, and made him the chosen adviser, not of his fomilj
only, but of the entire circle of his frieutls.

BISHOP TURNER.

It is due to the memory of this excellent Prelate, and may not be unacceptable to those who feel an
interest in the progressive improvement of British India, to take some notice of the events by which
that progress has been marked during the brief period of his Episcopate ; events in the accomplishments
of which he himself took so prominent a part.

That period did not exceed one year and seven months, of which eight only were passed at Calcutta,
and yet, during this short space of time, he originated so many useful and benevolent measures, that
brief as it was, it must always be viewed as an important era in the history of this settlement.

The object of these remarks being merely to give an account of what has taken place since his Lord-
ship's arrival in India, it would, in some degree, interfere with the plan to enter on a detailed review of
the earlier occurrences of his life. It will therefore be sufficient to observe, that he completed his
education at Christ's church, Oxford, where he gained the notice and friendship of Dr. Cyril Jackson,
then the distinguished Dean of that College. He was afterwards selected by the Lord ChanceUor
fiUenborough, as Preceptor to an only son, with whom he resided some time at Eton, and travelled over
much of Europe. At the period of his appointment to India, Dr. Turner was rector of W^ilmslow, a
large manufacturing Parish in Cheshire, and chaplain to his brother-in-law, the IMshop of Chester. In
these situations he acquired that experience in the art of education, that knowledge of the operation of
charitable Institutions, and that zeal for the sacred duties of the profession to wliich he belonged, the

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH. 17

beneficial application of whicb haa, since his death, called forth from the different relig:iotifi, charitable
and philanthropic Associations of which he was the head, the most grateful acknowledgments.

One of the first things which struck the late Bishop, on his arrival in India, was die indispensable
necessity of taking steps to encourage a due observance of the Lord's-day, among the christian com-
munity. Having only recently quitted a part of the world where that observance is enforced by law,
he thought it incumbent on him at least to invite the voluntary practice of it in Calcutta, and by that
means prevail, if possible, with its christian inhabitants, generally, to set an example, which the Govern-
ment itself, yielding to the force of public opinion, might perhaps eventually be brought to imitate. He
was aware that his predecessors, Bishops Middleton and Heber, the one officially and the other privately,
had endeavoured to prevail on the Government to enforce such observance in the Public Departments,
although without success ; but thought that an application from the christian community at large, after
agreeing to conform to it themselves, might be more effectual. With this view, he circulated a paper,
inviting all sincere christians to declare that they would personally in their families, and to the utmost
limits ot their influence, adopt and encourage others to such measures as might tend to establish a
decent and orderly observance of the Lord's-day ; that, as far as depended on themselves, they would
neither employ, nor allow others to employ on their behalf, or in their service, on that day. Native
workmen and artizans in the exercise of their ordinary calling ; that they would ^ve a preference to
those christian Tradesmen who were willing to adopt this regulation, and to act upon it constantly and
unreservedly in the management of their business, and that they would be ready, when it might be
deemed expedient, to join in presenting an address to the Right Honourable the Governor General in
Council, praying that orders might be issued to suspend all labour on public works upon the Lord's-
day, as well as all such business in the Government offices, as could without embarrassment to the
service, be dispensed 'With. The expressions used in this paper, are those of the acts of the British Parlia-
ment which is in force on the subject. The declaration, as already stated, was framed only for christians,
and especially for those who are convinced of the duty of attending to christian obligations. Its purpose
was to invite and to encourage the voluntary practice of those observances which in England are enforced
by law. Christian individuals were expected to pursue a christian object on christian principles ; and yet
this measure, so strictly in accordance with what his situation as head of the established Church in India
rendered it proper in the Bishop to adopt, was met by a portion of the community professing themselves
christians, with a degree of hostility and misrepresentation for which no difference of opinion, as to
mere expediency of the course proposed to be pursued for effecting an object so desirable in a christian
point of view, can we conceive, be considered by any reflecting person, as a sufficient apology. When
warned which he previously was, of the obloquy that would, probably, be cast upon him for the attempt,
he replied, that personal considerations of that sort would never deter him from doing his duty. He
persevered, and the result proved the anticipation to have been too well founded. He had, however,
the satisfaction of knowing that notwithstanding the hostility and misrepresentations in question, the
object in view, namely, the due observance of the Lord's-day, was, even here, extensively promoted by
the meajsure, and at one of the sister Presidencies, his endeavours for the same purpose were, afterwards,
still more successful.

The next important step taken by Bishop Turner was the formation of the District Charitable Society.
There was already in Calcutta a charitible fund for the reUef of distressed Europeans and otliers, estab-
lished in the year 1800, chiefiy by the exertions of the late Rev. David Brown, which continued
to be administered by the select vestry of St. John's Cathedral ; but however well adapted the vestry
may have been, for the distribution of the charitable funds of Calcutta some years ago, the number of
European Paupers had multiplied to so great an extent, that it had become necessary to provide for the
more full investigation of the cases of appUcants for relief. Frauds, the most gross, were practised on
the public with such facility, that impostors, speculating on the benevolence of the community and
making as it were mendicity a trade, have, it is understood, found no difficulty in procuring from money
lenders, advances, proportionate in amount to the probability qf^uccestt which the acquisition of certain
leading names to their applications for relief, justified a reasonable expectation of ultimately obtaining.
To remedy these inconveniencies, some comprehensive arrangement was obviously required, and at the
Bishop's suggestion, the Society alluded to was established. It consists of several subordinate com-
mittees, corresponding in number with the Ek^clesiastical Districts into which the town is divided, and
of a central committee of superintendence. Of this committee any individual subscribing 100 Rs. per
annum becomes a member. The former are charged with the distribution of the funds, the latter deter-
mine the principle on which the distribution is to be made and dispose of cases specially referred to them
for consideration. It is only necessary further to add, that the Society has met with the most cordial
support, both from the Government and the community, and that its operations are progressively in-
creasing, both in interest and importance. To the frauds, above alluded to, it has put an effectual
check, by affording all, to whom applications may be preferred for relief, the means of ascertaining by
reference to the Central Committee, or to the committee of the District in which they reside, the charac-
ter and circumstances of the appUcants, and of procuring immediate succour for them if necessary. It
is almost superfluous to add that the operations of such a Society, so constituted and so supported, can
be viewed in no other light than as a benefit to the community — a benefit for which it is originally in-
debted to the late Bishop, as appears from the following resolution proposed by the Honorable Sir
£klward Ryan, at a meeting of the Central Committee, held on the 18th July 1831, and carried una-
nimously.

*' That this Committee have received with feelings of the deepest regret, the distressing intelligence of
the demise of their highly respected president, The Right Reverend The Lord Bishop of Calcutta, and in
the painful record of this melancholy event desire to express their grateful sense of those zealous and
benevolent exertions which induced the formation of the District Charitable Society, and of that kind and
unremitting attention with which its operations were ever regarded by His Lordship."

The providing additional accommodation for public worship was the next object that engaged the

18 ST. JOHN'S CHURCH.

BUhop's attention, and arrangements were accordingly brought forward by him, through which no less
than Uiree churches have been added to the settlement.

First, the Church at the Free School, which not only enables the wholeof the children of that establish-
ment to attend public worship on the School premises, but has proved of great convenience to the whole
of the neighbourhood in which it is situated ; next, the Mariner's Church near the strand, for affording
the opportunity of divine service to seamen belonging to ships in the river ; and lastly, the Church at
Howrah, which cannot fail to be of the most extensive convenience to the numerous inhabitants residing
in that quarter. These arrangements were all effected without any expense to Government.

But it was not the spiritual interests of Christians alone, that occupied Dr. Turner's attention. He
felt the deepest concern in the operations of Missionary establishments generally, and in all proceedings
set on foot for the purpose of disseminating Christianity among the Natives. For the furtherance of the
views of the Calcutta Church Missionary Society, of which he was the Patron, he was earnestly engaged
in divising plans and making arrangements, when his last illness overtook him. The Diocesan Com-
mitees of the Society for Promoting Christian knowledge and of the Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel, have recorded their grateful sense of the attention paid by him to the interest of these bodies,
and at the annual meeting of the Calcutta Auxiliary Church Missionary Society, held in the old Church-
rooms on the 26th of July 1831, the following resolution was passed unanimously : *' That this meet-
ing receives with deep regret the sad and mournful Intelligence of the irreparable loss which the Society
has sustained by the demise of the Lord Bbhop of Calcutta, the zealous patron, and steady friend and
advocate of the Missionary cause, and begs to record the grateful sense which it entertains of the distin-
guished services rendered by his Lordship, both in the plans suggested, and the labours undertakok to
promote the interests of that cause, during the short period he was spared."

But the measures from which the greatest benefits may be expected to be derived, arc those intro-
duced by the Bishop to improve the system of public instruction, and which, had he been spared to
see them carried into effect, would in all probability have realised, on that head, as much as is attain-
able in this distant quarter. With him originated the Infant School ; — the first which was ever institu-
ted, at least in this part of India, and the whole expense of which was boiiie by him till his death. In
the Christian Intelligencer for October 1830, this Institution is spoken of as follows : —

** It is highly gratifying to see the facility with which some of the children add and substract by
means of the Abacus, and the progress the elder ones have made in reading, writing, and needle- work,
is quite surprising. Indeed altogether the scene is highly interesting. Every humane heart must
rejoice to see so many infants snatched like ' brands from the fire,' and placed in an Institution where
tiieir innocent and tender minds will be trained up in the fear of the Lord, and in habits of order, clean-
liness, and usefulness. The Bishop of the Diocese has, we think, done much for the rising generation
in establishing this interesting Institution, and we trust the example will be followed not only in all the
Parochial districts of Calcutta, but likewise in other large towns, and also in the other Presidencies of
India."

The plan of the High School (now St. Paul's School) was likewbe arranged by him. He drew up
the proposal for establishing it by proprietary shares, engaged for it the services of an able Rector,
regulated the course of instruction to be pursued in it, and when opportunity offered, gave it the bene-
fit of his own personal superintendence. The nature of this Institution, and the system of education
pursued were fully explained at a meeting held for the purpose on the 2d of August, 1831, at which the
Honorable Sir C. E. Grey took a leading part, and to which the following resolution was carried una-
nimously : — ** That this meeting receives with deep regret the melancholy intimation of the decease of
their late respected Chairman, the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, whose zeal in pro-
moting the cause of education upon the only ])rinciples which can render it beneficial to mankind *
whose unwearied labours in forwarding the best interests of all around him, and whose amiable dis-
positions, unassuming manners, and easiness of access, nmst cause his decease to be considered as a
heavy calamity to the community at large, and to this institution in particular, which has in his death
to deplore the loss of an able, experienced, and warm friend ; and they take this opportunity of re-
cording their grateful sense of the services he had rendered the graduated system of which he thus laid
the foundation, and which was intended, by means of the Infant School, the Free School, the High
School, and Bishop's College, to provide for the intellectual wants of infancy, childhood, youth and open-
ing manhood, would have left nothing in this respect for the Christian community to require ; but his
views, as already stated, were not conftned merely to the community ; he saw in the state of Uiings
which had already been effected, an opening through which Christian instruction might be succ^sfully
imparted to the natives ; and as he was convinced that no other description of education would ever ren-
der them what it is desireable they should become, namely, well-principled, well-informed, and well-
conducted members of society, he was therefore determined to avail himself of every favorable upporta-
nlty that offered for directing their views to this object." Before proceeding to Benares, in June 1830
he visited the different native schools and colleges in which so much progress has been made in the ac-
quisition of European literature and science, and he was greatly surprized and delighted with what he
saw. On his return from his primary visitation of the other Presidencies, several of the students waited
upon him, and testified the strongest disposition to cultivate the most cordial communication with him.
He had purchased, at a considerable expense, various astronomical and mathematical instnimmts, fiv
the purpose of assisting them in the prosecution of their studies in the higher branches of those sciences
and he was in hopes that the minds of the native youth, who might thus by degrees collect themselves
around him, would, in the progress of these pursuits be led to look ** through nature, up to Nature's
God." But these hopes he was never permitted to realize, and all that remains to be said is little more
than a recital of what took place at the closing hours of his life, and which, by those who reflect, that
their own last hour must, sooner or later, likewise arrive, cannot fail to be studied with advantage. It
is not our intention to dwell on any thing that took place during his visitation at the other Presidencies.
Suffice it to say, that he quitted Calcutta for Madras on tlie 18th September 1830 \ from Madras be

proceeded, overland, to Bombay, from Bombay, to Ceylon, whence, after having been engaged in va-
rious arduous duties at tlie several stations, he quitted. After having been exposed by land and sea, to
the most exhausting heat and fatigue, he returned to Calcutta on the 4th of May 1831, a djring man.
One circumstance, however, we cannot omit to notice, because it affects a body of men to whom the
testimony of such an individual cannot be indifferent, and which but for this opportunity woiM perhaps
have been lost for ever. In a letter to a friend dated Colombo, March the 17, 1831, he wrote as follows :
** I have been much interested by what I have seen and heard in Ceylon. A very useful lesson may
be learned here, especially important to those who, like myself, are apt to growl at the Company's
domination. Every measure we would desire to see adopted in India may be found in actual operation
in Ceylon : there is no restraint on colonization ; the Government avoids interfering in mercantile con-
cerns, (except as respects the sale of cinnamon and pearls ;) trial by Jury is fully established ; in a
great part of the Island, there Is an extensive and systematic provision for Government schools, and
yet every thing languishes. There is no spirit of improvement ; industry, either commercial or agri-
cultural, seems altogether unknown ; and the finest Island in the world, rich in spontaneous productions,
richer still in those which might be procured by labour, with noble harbours and a situation that com-
mands the commerce of the eastern world, is scantily peopled, and of that scanty population a very
large proportion are miserably fed, and they are liable almost periodically to severe famine. Wliat
can be the secret of all this ? However, as matters stand, if you wish to ascertain how completely
good institutions may be nullified, you may come to Ceylon ; and on the other hand to know how theo-
retical evils may be cured, you must make su9h a journey as I have done, through the three presi-
dencies of India. I am satisfied that there is no Government in the world so well served as that of the
East Indian Company. I mean that no service I ever knew or heard of comprises so large a propor-
tion of individuals able and willing to discharge their duties."

Hb health for many years had been far from good ; he had long been subject to internal disease ; but
during his residence in Bengal it had rather improved than otherwise. On his journey, however, a
change took place, and after his return, the progress of decay became most rapid and alarming. As
soon as it was discovered to be of a fatal tendency, a voyage to Penang, and eventually to New South
Wales, was determined on, in the hope that his valuable life might yet be prolonged ; but, " He in
whose hands our life is," was pleased, in one short week, to bring all such expectations to an end. On
Wednesday June 29th, a manifest change for the worse came on. He became sensible of his decay,
but was not entirely confined to his room more than two days. Of him, it may justly be said, '* Mark
the perfect man and behold the upright, for the end of that man b peace." As the hand of death
became heavy upon him, no change of manner, no perturbation of mind, nor alteration even of voice,
except a little more of solemnity, was observable. He was attended with the utmost assiduity and
kindness by his medical friends. The Archdeacon had from the departure of his domestic Chaplain,
resided in the house, and to him, the dying Prelate communicated freely on those subjects which occupied
his mind. They were altogether such as might be expected from his previous character. The state and
prospects of religion in India, the circumstances of some of his clergy, his own views of Divine truth
in the prospect of eternity and the strong support they now afforded him. With such thoughts and
occasional religious exercises, he met the last enemy as one who had long been expecting his attack,
and without the smallest sign of reluctance, yielded himself to the sentence incurred by man's original
transgression. The following is an extract of the character of this invaluable person, copied from a
sermon preached in the Cathedral by the Archdeacon on the Sunday after the Bishop's death, with which
this imperfect sketch may be brought to a close. " We have left us in the character of our departed
Bishop, an example of one who sought glory, honour, and immortality, by patient continuance in well
doing. He began where the scriptures teach us to begin with personal religion. He had low thoughts
of himself. He was seriously affected with a sense of his frailties and un worthiness, and rested his hope
of salvation only on the mercy of God in Jesus Christ. He had attained in a remarkable degree a spirit
of self-control, so that he was, to a considerable extent, a copy of the great Shepherd and Bishop of our
Souls, whose word is ' learn of me for I am meek and lowly.' He took Revelation for his guide, and
whilst the Triune God of the Bible was the object of his adoration, the will of God was the rule of his
practice."

*' / have a growing evidence y^* said he, after partaking of the Lord's supper on the 3d of July, ** that
I know in whom I have trusted," and he went on to contrast the uncertainties attending the pursuit
of science, with the increasing confidence which the christian feels in Divine Truth as he advances in the
knowledge of it.

'* In his peculiar office he came near to the apostolical standard in the Epistles of Timothy and Titus.
Of his learning, and capacity for perpetuating an order of ministers in the Church, it would require
one of a similar measure of learning and piety to speak, but all could judge, that as a Bishop he was
blameless and free from reproach ; moderate in all his habits and pursuits, disinterested in a high degree,
and free from all suspicion of the love of money. That he was apt to teach, and a true labourer in the
word and doctrine ; sober in judgment, wise to solve difficulties ; of a compassionate spirit, and heartily
desirous of men's eternal good. In the public exercise of his office, he must imavoidably, whilst human
nature is what it is, have given ofience to some. The lively sense he had of his own responsibility
rendered him more keenly alive to such defects in any of those under his authority as might hinder their
nsefulness, or do injury to the cause they had solemnly pledged themselves to serve. He felt himself
therefore l^ound, when occasion arose, to reprove and to rebuke with all authority.

" To the patient continuer in well-doing a sense of God's forgiving mercy, takes even in this life the
sting from death, and an assured hope of eternal life, glides and illumines the dark passage of the valley
of tihe sluulow of death. This our departed Prelate experienced : the persuasion that God would carry
on his own work on the earth, and that he could and would abundantly supply the means of so doing,
left him without a care for this world, an assured hope that on being released from the body, he should
be with Christ, strengthened him to endure protracted and intense bodily faffering, with patience and

fbrtitude, not to be surpassed, till at length, being released from this strife of nature, be entered on the
Memal life to which he had long aspired.

To the above we will only add the last words the Bishop uttered, which to those who had the priTilege
of hearing them, were most affecting, and which no one with the heart of a christian, can, we are sore,
reflect upbn with indifference. After prayer had been engaged in, out of the ▼isitatkm of the tick,
ending with the Lord's prayer, to which he added a fervent " Amen,'' a short pause ensued ; it was
suddenly interrupted by his breaking out, in the most solemn and impressive manner, as follows : " Ob
Thou God of all grace, stablish, strengthen, settle us.'' " Have mercy upon all, that they may oome to
the knowledge of the Truth, and be saved." " There is none other name given among men by whick
they can be saved." " Other foundation can no man lay" — and he spoke no more.

His remains were entombed in St. John's Cathedral yard by the side of the late Chief Justice BIosmC

THE RIGHT REVEREND DANIEL CORRIE— rKr»/ Bishop (/ Madras.J

This amiable and pious man, who by the force of steady and most conscientious ftilfilment of his saered
duties, rather than by any extraordinary talents or extensive acquirements, raised himself to high office,
has left behind hira a name, the memory of which India, at least, will not willingly let die. But it is not
as Bishop Corrie of Madras that the subject of this memoir is endeared to the troops of friends -who still
mourn his loss ; nor under that title that his name became familiar to the whole religious world. It ii
not as Bishop Corrie of Madras that we love to think of him ; but as Archdeacon Corrie of Calcutta.

Daniel Corrie was bom in April 1777 ; his father was a country clergyman ; and Daniel himself wouki
have moved in the same sphere but for the offer of a Chaplaincy on the East India Company^s establish-
ment which was made to him soon after ordination. His childhood and boyhood app«u* to have
presented no very remarkable indications of religious warmth or intellectual promise. Having been
educated at home, up to the age of seventeen, he was then removed to the house of a friend in London,
**who had expressed an intention of providing in life for him." Four years afterwards he returned
home, the temptations of a London life having, it would appear, proved too strong for his unguarded
youth ; and then, as his heart slowly but certainly began to yield itself to religious impressions, his
thoughts turned towards the ministry as a profession, and in the summer of 1799 he was ** entered of
Clare Hall, Cambridge." His good resolutions, however, were soon shaken. The seductive and perni-
cious environments of College life seem to have been even more fatal to him than the attractions of the
great metropolis. He spent his first year at the University " in a round of dissipation." But that
truly apostolic man, Mr. Simeon, was then ministering at Trinity Church. Young Corrie listened with
attention, and not without profit. He became a regular attendant at the place of worship, and from this
tune his reformation advanced ; not however without some intervals of painful self-conflict and occasions]
deviations, which sorely distressed him. In 1802 he was ordained ; and entered the Ministry with a due
sense of the responsibility of the undertaking.

Having been appointed Curate of Stoke Rochfort, he continued to reside in that Parish until the
Easter of 1804, when he returned to Cambridge for the purpose of keeping his Law Exercises. It was
on this occasion that he cemented a ft-iendship with Henry Martyn, which continued undiminished up to
the day of the latter's death. Similar in some respects, — yet in others how dissimilar ! — was the career
of these two yoimg men. They started about the same time on the great journey of life ; both had
slipped and &llen often at the outset ; they met at Cambridge, listened together to the ministerings of
Simeon ; from his lips received wisdom, and so receiving it, derived grace from above ; both turned
their thoughts towards the East — perhaps they had communed together at Cambridge relative to this
great field of Apostolic labour ; both obtained Chaplaincies on the East India Establishment, and entered
their new profession with the same missionary aspirations and resolutions, thinking less of the especial
functions of their new office than of the wants of the whole heathen world. By both the Chaplaincy was
regarded, in the first instance, as little more than a means to an end.

In the autumn of 1805 Martyn sailed for Calcutta ; and at the commencement of the following year,
Corrie in his turn, embarked. His destination was the same. They arrived in India within a few
months of each other, and were received beneath the same roof — ^the hospitable roof of Mr. Brown,
another chaplain on the establishment. There is, on the banks of the river Hooghly, at Aldeen*^ an old
Hindoo Pagoda, now a picturesque ruin overrun with weeds and creepers. In this once popular
idol- temple, some forty years ago Brown, Martyn and Corrie often met for prayer and ** swert
counsel." The former had fitted it up as a study and chapel, and there the two young chaplains
spent a great part of their time. There also, in the infancy of Indian Missions, Martyn, Corrie and
Brown often met Carey, Marshman and Ward, and with a mutual forgetfulness of all sectarian
distinctions, mingled their councils for the advancement of Christ's kingdom in this benighted land.
There is a melancholy satisfaction in recurring to the friendly meetings which were often held at the
Pagoda of Aldeen by these early labourers, and this feeling is more strongly excited, when it is painfully
remembered that not one of tWs fiaithful band now survives. ** They rest from their labours and their
works do follow them."

But to return to the subject of our memoir : — ^The two friends, Martyn and Corrie started within a few
weeks of each other on their respective journeys hito the interior. For some time the life of the one,
but little differed from the liiie of the other. Both were engaged at different Indian stations in the

performance of their professional duties, occasionally taming aside, when opportunity offered, to ai^;ti<i
with, or preach to the natives of the country ; and to this end, intently studying the native languages and
busying themselves in the good work of scripture translation. The two friends kept up a close corres-
pondence, detailing, each to each, their professional labours, and commenting upon the impediments and
obstructions which beset their path — the apathy, and worse than apathy, of Christians, and the heinous
abominations of the heathen. Painful as it was to these good men to write such letters, they are now,
after a lapse of forty years, to be read with no ordinary pleasure. The English in India are not now
what they were, when Martyn groaned in spirit at the infidelity which scoffed at his ministerings, which
he encountered with all the fortitude of a Christian hero, and when the less earnest soul of Corrie
shrunk alarmed at the thought of flinging himself. Gospel -armed, upon the spears of the scomers.
There are men now in Calcutta, who sit in the old Mission Church, and remember the days when
Martyn and Corrie preached, in that same Chapel, almost to empty pews.

But the paths of these two good men soon diverged into widely different regions. They met, for the
last time, at Cawnpore in 1810. Martyn went, in the fulness of his Apostolic zeal, to visit strange
lands, and find, after long and untold sufferings endured with the courage of a hero, and the patience
of a saint, an early and unhonored grave. Corrie, along a more pleasant path, and yet not without
his trials, went straightway to a Bishopric, surviving his friend a quarter of a century, and dying at
his post ripe alike in time and honour.

A yvar after the death of Martjm, (Mr. Brown was carried off about the same time,) the first Indian
Bishop was appointed. The selection had fallen on Dr. Middleton — an accomplished scholar. Corrie,
who had united himself in the autumn of 1812 to the daughter of a Mr. Myers, was at Calcutta When
the Bishop arrived ; the state of his health, from his unremitting exertions in the ministry at Agra, had
injuriously affected his constitution, brought him down to the Presidency, and now compelled him to
take a voyage to England. He embarked in January 1815, and reached home in due course. ** I well
remember," said Bishop Wilson, more than 20 years afterwards, *' the affection with which he was every
where welcomed." At the close of August 1817, he was again in Calcutta. He was then appointed
to the ministerial charge of the Benares Station, — a scene, as he describes it, of delightful labour ; from
this place he was removed, in December 1818, to the more important cantonment of Cawnpore. But
before he could join his appointment at the latter place, he was called to assume one of the Presidency
Chaplaincies, and, in accordance with this official arrangement, he repaired to Calcutta. Soon afterwards,
the Senior Presidency Chaplaincy became vacant ; Corrie, in due course, succeeded to it. His duties
here were multifarious. His labours heavy. He was not one to rest satisfied with mere oflScial performances.
His self- incurred obligations were as onerous as those which arose out of his recognized profession.

In the hot weather of 1822, Bishop Middleton died ; Corrie attended his death-bed. Two months
afterwards, the Archdeacon of Calcutta fell a victim to the cholera, and Corrie was appointed an
Ecclesiastical Commissioner in conjunction with Mr. Parsons, who had been his fellow -passenger on his
first voyage to India. Bishop Heber reached Calcutta in October 1823, and immediately appointed
Corrie to the vacant Archdeaconry. It is, we have already said, as Archdeacon Corrie, that hu name
is best known both in the Eastern and Western world.

In 1824, the Archdeacon accompanied Bishop Heber on the visitation tour, the details of which the
Bishop's delightful journal has rendered so familiar to English readers ; but owing to the delicate state
of his health, he left the Episcopal party at Lucknow, and turned off to Cawnpore, thence proceeding in
search of health to the Dhoon. The intoided departure of the Bishop for Madras and Bombay rendered
it necessary that the Archdeacon should return to Calcutta. He accordingly repaired to the Presidency,
which he reached in the cold weather of 1825. The Bishop departed, never to return, and the Archdea-
con preached the funeral sermon of the deceased Prelate. The affairs of the Diocese now devolved
upon him, and he took possession of the Bishop's Palace. But there was no less of humility. In
secret he recorded his fears that large means were a snare to him, and that the social requirements of
high office, the necessity of enlarged hospitality and constant public appearance, distracted his mind
from private devotion. For more than a year he continued to act as Commissary ; and when Dr. James,
a man of a refined mind, an art-critic, and an author of some note, was appointed to the vacant See,
he rejoiced in being thus relieved from the responsibility of the chief ecclesiastical control. But it was
not long before he was again called upon to administer the affairs of the Diocese. The career of Bishop
James was but a brief one. He rapidly sickened and died. And again the Archdeacon found himself
at the head of the Anglo-Indian Church.

At the close of 1829, Bishop Tomer, an amiable and pious man, whose great merits have never been
sufficiently acknowledged, arrived in Calcutta. But, like that of his predecessor, his career was a very
brief one. In July 1831, the Indian Church was a fourth time deprived of its chief Pastor. The
Archdeacon attended the death-bed of the Prelate ; and has minutely recorded the particulars of the last
days of Bishop Turner, in a very interesting paper which is copied in the volume now before us. On
Archdeacon Corrie once more devolved the painful duty of preaching the funeral sermon of a deceased
Diocesan. There is no doubt that, at this time, Corrie would have been nominated for the vacant
Bishopric ; but it was necessary that no time should be lost in filling up the appointment, and the
Archdeacon must have proceeded to England for consecration. Accordingly Dr. Wilson, the present Me-
tropolitan of India, who was then ministering in Islington, (a man of signal piety, great intelligence, and
an energy of character, which neither age nor infirmity, nor the wasting climate of Bengal, have im-
paired,) was consecrated fifth Bishop of Calcutta. But in 1834, the renewal of the Company's charter,
under which two new Sees were established, afforded an opportunity for the well-eamed promotion of
Archdeacon Corrie. His ministerial labours were now to find a fitting reward. At the close of 1834 he
was nominated Bishop of Madras. In the cold weather of that year, he sailed for England, was con-
secrated on the 14th of June, 1835, and almost immediately sailed again for the shores of India. He
arrived at the end of October, and entered upon the duties of his new office with characteristic assiduity.
About the middle of the following year, he made an extensive visitation tour of his Diocese ; and soon

after his return to the Presidency, it pleased Providence to visit him with the severest affliction ha
had ever been called upon to sustain. On the last day of 1836, Mrs. Corrie breathed her last. But
his bereavement was not of long continuance, for on the 5th of February 1837, he was united to her in
a better world. Over-exertion of body and distress of mind had done their work upon him but too
surely. When death came, it found him at his post. He was seized with his last rapidly fatal illness,
when on his way to attend a meeting of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel.

We cannot allow the record of this event to pass over without expressing our deep sense of Dr.
Corrie's christian virtues. To know him, even in a remote degree, was to love him. It was impossible
to come within the range of his influence without being impressed with the most affectionate esteem for
his character ; for he seemed to live in an atmosphere of benignity. His venerable figure would always
have commanded respect, even if it had not been set off by that suavity of manner and cheerfulness of
disposition which imparted so great a charm to his social intercourse. He never permitted the majesty
of divine truth to be compromised for a moment by any def;^rence for his fellow-men ; at the same time
he enforced the claims of religion with a degree of mildness, mixed with earnestness, which appeared to
give them additional weight. Hui instructions acquired a tenfold efficacy from his own example, whidi
afforded a pattern of the most genuine Christian simplicity. Free, to a great extent, from the infirmi-
ties to which human nature is subject, he was ever ready to make allowances for the faults of others,
while he reproved them with sincerity. If there was any drawback in his character, it appeared to
arise from the predominance of the goodness of his heart over the firmness of his determination. He
was not merely given to hospitality, but devoted to it. His liberality knew no bounds ; but his means,
too frequently overstepped the bounds of prudence and obliged him to submit to pnvations of w^hidi
his own benevolence was the cause. He acted but as the almoner of his income, which he appeared to
consider, like every other possession, as a trust for the benefit of others. In this trait of his character,
he was the exact counterpart of Brown and Thomason, who were remarkable for giving away every
thing, and giving it cheerfully. Though Dr. Corrie was not calculated, from the feebleness of his
voice, and a nervous tremour, to shine as a public speaker, his private ministrations in society, and in
his own circle, made ample amends for the absence of pulpit eloquence. From his first arrival in Hm
country, he considered himself a debtor to the heathen, among whom he laboured, as opportunity ofifered,
with zeal and success. To the diffusion of divine truth and of Christian principle he devoted all the powers
of his soul, and there was no Institution for the promotion of these objects, which did not receive his
cordial support. Rarely has such a combination of Christian excellence been presented to public admira-
tion. All that remains to us of it now is the example which he has left behind, and which, if ri^tly
improved, will serve to animate and encourage those whom he can no longer instruct with his lips.

The following Tablet was erected by a public subscription of his friends and placed in St. JoktCs
Cathedral^ and another in the Old Church,

DR. WILLIAM TWINING.

The subject of this memoir was born in Wales, where his fiather was a Clergyman, but in what part
of the Principality is uncertain. The first event uf Mr. Twining's life about which any precise informa-
tion can be gained, is that, in 1808, he was a student of Guy's Hospital, being then about 18 years of
age. Sir A. Cooper, Messrs. Forster and Lucas, were the Sui^eons of the Hospital ; and Sir Astly
and Mr. Clive were the principal lecturers. Here Mr. Twining distinguished himself by the same deli-
gence and application which he ever afterwards displayed through life ; and so much interested was he
in the pursuit of anatomy, that, instead of availing lumself of the summer recesses, in the Medical
Schools in London, to leave town and enjoy himself in the country, (the plan usually adopted even by
very industrious yoimg men,) he entered himself as a pupil to that celebrated anatomist, the late Mr.
Joshua Brookes, whose class remained open during the summer months. He there laboured with
unwearied industry, and with so much success, that his instructor, (delighted with his zeal and acquire-
ments) employed him as an assistant in his own private dissections, and afterwards made him hu de-
monstrator, an office of great honor for so young a man. Had Mr. Twining remained in that situation
and devoted himself thenceforth t© the employment of lecturing, there is no doubt that he would ulti-
mately have stood in the highest rank as an anatomical teacher ; and where could a member of the
Medical profession wish to be more proudly placed ? But he was destined to shine in another sphere,
and in a distant clime. He remained only t^o years with Mr. Brookes, and then, lured by the prospect
of instruction which the brilliant campaigns in the Peninsula offered to all young Surgeons, and perhaps
also tempted by a natural desire of seeing the world under such advantageous circumstances, he entered
the army, (Medical Department) and in 1810 joined as Hospital Assistant to the British Troops in
Portugal under Lord Wellington. In* this capacity he served with the army during the whole course
of the war, and was present at most of those glorious battles which contributed so pre-eminently to
raise the British name.

In March 1814, he was promoted to the rank of Staff Assistant Surgeon, and placed on the Staff
of General Lord Hill, in which capacity he entered Paris with the allied army. In 1815, he had the good
fortune to witness the ever memorable conflict and crowning victory of Waterloo.

After the termination of the war, he remained in Lord Hill's family, till his marriage, which took
place in 1817. He was then stationed with a Regiment at Portsmouth. In 1819, he was employed in
the Hospital at Chatham *, and, for a short time, was Staff Assistant Surgeon at the Cavalry Depdt at
Maidstone. But after the turmoil and perpetual excitement in which he had been engaged for so many
years, the inactivity of a garrison life was by no means congenial to his feelings. To obtain an employ-
ment more suited to his taste, he volunteered for foreign service. He was accordingly ordered to the
West Indies ; to this order he declined, stating his wish to be sent to the East, and claiming priority of
choice on account of his previous services ; at the time, however, he was disappointed ; but shortly after-
wards he was asked by Sir Edward Paget, to join him in Ceylon as his personal Surgeon, an office of
which he gladly availed himself, and in 1821 , he sailed accordingly for that colony.

In 1823, when Sir Edward, after having been appointed to the command of the Indian army, arrived in
Bengal, he was accompanied by his Surgeon, and travelled with him to the Upper Provinces in his first tour
of inspection. Calcutta at that time presented an inviting prospect for an aspiring member of the profession.
Mr. Twining, influenced by that circumstance, and thinking, moreover, that it was, at length, time to quit
his wandering career of life, resolved to leave His Majesty's service and enter that of the Honorable Com-
pany, in the attainment of which object he was kindly assisted by the Commander-in-Chief. In 1824,
Sir Edward Paget obtained for him the appointment of Assistant Surgeon on the Bengal Establishment.
He still retained his commission in the King's service and held it till 1830, when he was compelled, by
the Home Authorities, to relinquish it, or resume his duties with a British Regiment. The latter alter-
native he was not likely to choose, considering the advantageous position in which he then stood, as a
successful practitioner in Calcutta, and on the 7th December 1830, he accepted the regulated commuted
allowance of officers of his rank, and quitted the British army.

He remained on Sir Edward's Staff for a short time, and was then placed in the General Hospital as
senior permanent Assistant, a situation he held until the time of his death. From this period ma^r
be dated the commencement of the brilliant, though unhappily brief, professional career which has ren-
dered Mr. Twining so conspicuous in life, and so much regretted in death.

Mr. Twining was not long in the General Hospital ere the public began to discover his worth and to value
his services proportionately. He soon became extensively engaged in private practice. People of all ranks
and religions, Europeans and Natives, flocked to him ; and perhaps no man was ever better fitted to
succeed in this department of his profession. His profound knowledge of disease, in every form under
which it could be presented to him, together with the natural firmness of his character, gave a marked
decision and promptitude to his manner, which at once inspired the sick with confidence and hope.
The extent of his practice had latterly become so great, and his exertions so severe, as visibly to impair
his health ; though, unshaken in fortitude, he never permitted illness to serve him as an excuse for
idleness, and he used to boast that he had not been absent from his duty for a single day, since he had
been in Calcutta. Besides the extensive nature of his general practice in Calcutta, his public duties
were by no means light. In addition to his appointment in the Hospital, he was Surgeon to the Cal-
cutta Jail and the Upper Orphan School, and was unremitting in the discharge of the duties attached to
those vocations. He attended the General Hospital at all hours of the day and night, and much of his
valuable observations upon disease were drawn from the close attention which he paid to the cases under
his charge in that Institution.

The history of Mr. Twining's connection with the Medical Society is a subject which calls forth our
admiration, mixed with a long train of melancholy reflections ; for it is impossible to look back with-
out approbation upon the unceasing interest which he took in its welfare. Mr. Twining was amongst the
earliest members of the Society, and from the beginning contributed with all his energy to promote its

U ST. JOHN'S CHURCH.

success. He was not, however, content with his own exertions in its favor. He induced all around
him to labour in its behalf, and upon the death of the lamented Dr. John Adam, in 1830, he was
chosen to fill the office of Secretary, a situation which he occupied with a degree of unremitting seal
and attention almost without a parallel in the records of any other scientific body. But towards the
end of 1834, he was, though most reluctantly, compelled to resign his office into the hands of Mr.
Bramley ; for the extent of his other occupations, so absorbed his time, that he found himself unable
to continue the duties of that department. He nevertheless relaxed not in his strenuous exertions in
the Society *s behalf.

In the course of the last ten years, Mr. Twining furnished the Society with a great number of papers
upon various subjects ; upwardis of twenty of these have been published. Their publication was, how-
ever, but the prelude to a work on a far more extensive scale, in the preparation of which Mr. Twining
was for some time engaged. In August 1832, his admirable book upon the diseases of Bengal was
announced. The reputation which the author had previously attained, and the high respect alroidy felt
for his opinions, by his professional brethren throughout India, excited intense expectation on the
merits of ^e forthcoming treatise ; its appearance was haUed with eagerness and delight ; nor was the pub-
lie disappointed ; for it contained all that was looked for, and was unanimously declared to be the most
important work upon Indian diseases ever promulgated.

In 1833, he published, through his Booksellers in England, a separate work upon cholera, which was
favorably received by the British public. Mr. Twining's fame and reputation were much increased
throughout all India, and extended themselves even to Europe, by the production of his work "On
the Diseases of Bengal." So impressed were the members of the Supreme Government with its im-
portance, that, with great liberality, they contributed fifteen hundred rupees towards the expense of its
printing and publication. The first edition sold rapidly, and the 'author was soon forced to make pre-
parations for bringing out a se<;ond, with many additional observations, and new chapters, which very
much increased the value and usefulness of the work ; in June 1835 it was published, and most warmly
received by the public. The Government again came forward upon this occasion, and in a very hand-
some manner, marked their sense of the value of the author's labours by taking 200 copies of the
work, with the intention of distributing them throughout the Medical Service.

With the publication of this edition of his work, Mr. Twining's brilliant career was about to close.

On the 19th August, as Mr. Twining was visiting his patients, his coachman drove against a huggy
and overturned it ; a gentleman who was in it, was thrown violently on the ground, and his thigh was
fractured ; Mr. Twining instantly ran to assist the woimded man, and with the aid of a passenger,
lifted him into a palanquin. In doing this, he felt something give way in his chest with a suddoi
snap, and instantly became sick and faint. Throughout the whole of his subsequent illness, he was per-
fectly calm and self-possessed ; reasoning on his case with clearness and judgment. During the first
two days he took an unfavorable view of its termination, but the only thing which appeared to distress
him, was the remembrance of his wife and child ; of them he could never speak, without the deepest
emotion.

The history of the case however, appears to point out the rupture of a large blood vessel, conse-
quent upon a severe affection of the heart. He had for some time previous to his death labored under
symptoms which marked the existence of a disorder in that organ ; and he himself frequently expressed
his conviction that such was the fact.

Mr. Twining was of a middling stature, but his figure was remarkably strong and robust ; his coun-
tenance was intelligent and thoughtful, but very mild, and there was a general expression of benevolence
diffused over it which was extremely prepossessing. In manners, he was very retiring and quiet, almost
resembling a member of the Society of Friends, in his appearance and deportment, exhibiting, at the
same time, a great share of the kindness and warmth of heart, which he naturally possessed. He
was at all times singularly temperate and abstemious in his habits ; a rigid water-drinker, in example
as well as precept ; he regarded indulgences of the table of every kind, as unpardonable offences in a
man, who wished to preserve his health, and more especially with reference to hot climates. Mr.
Twining's whole character was marked by a large proportion of that benevolence which was stamped
upon his countenance, and it was nowhere more conspicuous than in the unwearied kindness and
attention with which he regarded the sick of all ranks and descriptions who were placed under his care.
In domestic life, he was most affectionate : indeed it formed for hun the greatest attraction of social
existence.

. As a writer, Mr. Twining was clear, forcible, and unpretending. His observations were well
arranged, his mode of reasoning fair and very accurate. His style of composition was plain and con-
cise, without any attempt at ornament or fine writing ; but far from being clumsy» dull, or oon-
Strained.

The mournful impression caused by Mr. Twining's decease was universal. He was so well known,
so much beloved by many — and so highly valued by all, that the death of no one individual in Uie
country could have created more profound grief, or produced a greater sensation of public Sjrmpathy.
His remains were interred in the South Park Street Burial Ground, and the Inscription which marks
his grave will be found amongst those in that Ground. A large sum of money was subscribed by his
patients and friends for the purpose of erecting a Monument to his memory in St. John's Church,
(of which the following is the copied Inscription) :

In grateful recognition

THE HONORABLE JOHN AD\U—Oate Governor General of India) .

John Adam was the eldest son of the Right Honorable William Adam, Lord Chief Commissioner
of the J^ry Court for Civil Caiwes in Scotland, and the Honorable Eleanor Elphinstone, second
daughter of Charles, tenth Lord Elphinstone, and was born on the 4th May 1779. lie was educated
on the foundation of the Charter House, and being presented by his uncle with a Civil appointment to
Bengal in 1794, was sent, for a year, to Edinburgh, where he attended the lectures of Dugald Stewart,
Professor Robison and other distinguished literary instructors of that period. Mr. Adam finally sailed
for India in the * Barrington,' along with his cousin, the Hon. Mountstuart Elphinstone (afterwards
Governor of Bombay) and arrived at Calcutta in February 1796. His first nomination was in the
judicial branch of the service, and he was sent to Patna to serve his probationary term under Mr.
Henry Douglas, then Judge and Magistrate of that station. Here he remained for three years, employed
in the study of the languages of the country, and in the sedulous discharge of those minor duties by
which the junior servants of the Company are trained to official habits, and fitted for the high career
to which they are destined. In March 1799, Mr. Adam was promoted to the office of Register in the
Twenty-four Purgunnahs, in the Presidency district ; and having been introduced to the personal notice
of the Governor General, he was, in the following year, transferred to the judicial and revenue branch
of the Secretariat, wherein he was nominated head assistant.

Marquis Wellcsly had recently returned to Bengal upon the conclusion of the Mysore war, and was,
at this time, occupied with the formation of a Council to the College of Fort William ; Mr. Adam was
one of the very first selected for this distinguished position. In May 1802, he was placed at the head
of the office in question, and vested with the charge of its records ; and in March of the following year
his services were rewarded by a nomination to the office of Collector in one of the districts (Goruckpore)
then recently ceded by the Nawaub Vizier. It was not, however, Lord WcUesly's intention to deprive
himself of the useful talents of his assistant ; he accordingly retained Mr. Adam in his suite until his
final departure for Europe ; and Sir George Barlow, having, in April 1804, made him Deputy 'Secretary in
the Serect, Political and Foreign Departments, took occasion to record a minute explanatory of the cause
of his not joining the station to which he had been appointed, bearing therein a most honorable testimony
to the useful services rendered by Mr. Adam in the Secretariat, more especially during the course of
the Marhatta war.

In March 1809 Mr. Adam was appointed, by Lord Minto, Secretary to Government in the Military
Department, an office which required the qualifications of a thorough man of business, and which he
possessed in a pre-eminent degree. Occupied sometimes with the discussion of projects affecting the
most momentous interests of the State, he possessed on the one hand that intelligence of mind which

diflcrimmates between the sound and the fidlacioas ; whilst, on the other, he could derote himielf
with the most exemplary diligence, and witiiont any sensation of fitttgae or disgost, to the dullest
accumulation of uninteresting details. The records of the Supreme Goremment contain more than ono
acknowledgment of the admirable manner in which the duties of this office were performed by Mr.
Adam.

Upon Mr. Edmonstone's promotion to a seat in the Supreme Council in October 1812, Mr. Adam
succeeded him in the more responsible and higher office of Secretary to Government in the Secret,
Foreign and Political Departments, and it was in Ihis situation that Lord Hastmgs found him on hit
arrivfd in India in the following year. In this situation it became the duty of Mr. Adam to point oat
to the new Grovemor-General the political objects most deserving of his attention ; to ascertain his
views, and assist in their development, besides that of finally becoming the organ for communicating
them to others. Mr. Adam, accompanied the Governor General, as Secretary, throughout the opera-
tions now about to commence, and, so fur as his voice had weight, influenced the resolution finally
taken by his Lordship, to adopt, upon his sole responsibility, an extensive plan for establishing BritiBh
supremacy over the whole of Indda. Mr. Adam was the sole depository of his Lordship's views, and
exclusively enjoyed his confidence ; so much so, that the instructions for the movement of every corpSy
sometimes extending even to the details of its formation and equipment, issued entirely under his sig-
nature. The labour and anxieties of that period can be known only to those who witnessed Mr. Adsjoi
under the discharge of his accumulated duties ; late in the night, when all were at rest, the lamp was
constantly burning in his tent, while kasids and estafettas Vere waiting to carry forth his expresses ;
again, though ^e march was always made before daybreak in the morning, he was nevertheless
beforehand, and at the desk with his candles, to snatch a few minutes for some urgent business ere the
drum should beat the final order for a move. It is to be observed that, in addition to the functions
of the Political and Secret Departments, Mr. Adam filled the situation of Private Secretary to the
Governor- General ; so that he had another branch of duty to perform, in its nature urgent and distinct
from that which mainly occupied his thoughts ; but consisting of confidential correspondence, regarding
the distribution of patronage, or of communications with the principal functionaries at the Presidency,
and therefore not admitting of transfer or delegation to other huids. The strongest frame of body must
have yielded to the fatigue and anxiety of such accumulated labours, continued, as they were, for
so long a period without intermission, Mr. Adam's constitution was originally extremdy good ; a
long career, however, of sedentary and incessant occupation in the climate of India had alr^uly so fiur
weakened it as to have rendered a voyage to the Cape indispensible a few years before. His frame, there-
fore, was not proof against the effect of such unremitting cares as were now heaped upon him, and Uie
seeds were unfortunately sown, during the campaign, of the disease which ultimately carried him off,
and deprived the world of his virtues and useful talents when they had scarcely ripened to full maturity.
But we have not yet done with the recapitulation of Mr. Adam's claims to &e lasting gratitude of the
country, to the service of which indeed, his life was devoted. Though the remainder of his days were
short, and passed in sickness, the period was yet eventful, and crowded with actions for which his
name will be long remembered and cherished with affection.

In April 1817, the Court of Directors, in acknowledgment of Mr. Adam's prior services, had nomi-
nated him provisional Member of Council, and the departure of Mr. C. Ricketts for England enabled
him to take his seat, very soon after the return of the Governor- General to the Presid^cy upon the
conclusion of the Mahratta and Pindarry war, viz. on the 9th of January 1819. As a Member of Coun-
cil, Mr. Adam's character was conspicuous for solid sense, and for the close discriminating judgment
he had ever at command for all questions.

On the 13th of January 1823, Mr. Adam took charge of the Supreme Government. Elevated thus
temporarily, and almost by accident, to the highest station ; placed in a situation of vast power, and con-
scious of possessing the talent to wield it beneficially, he determined to do all the good he could ;
imwilling that the period of his sway should be marked as a mere interregnum, distinguished only for
the absvice of energetic measures, a pure blank space, as it were, between two administrations ; nor did
he think it either generous or consistant with the line of public duty, to shift off upon his successors the
odium, risk, and res])onsibility of executing what his own judgment pronounced to be right.

There was no branch of public policy to which Mr. Adam attached more importance than the educa-
tion of the people ; his attention was sedulously directed to the important subject of public instruction,
in furtherance of which object public aid had been afforded to ^ose useful and laudable institutions,
the School Book Society, die Calcutta School Society, and the Hindoo College, founded in 1817.
Besides thus extending the support and countenance of Government to Institutions directed to the moral
improvement of the country, Mr. Adam took the same occasion for setting apart a fund for public
works, tending to the increase of the people's comfort and convenienoe. For this purpose, the town
duties collected at the principal cities and stations jpresented themselves as in every respect the most
appropriate resource ; the total amount being such as Govemm^ could sacrifice without inconvenienoe,
while the distribution was ready made, in the proportion levied from the population of each pUce.

This however is not all. The administration of civil justice, which is the first duty of a regular
Government ; indeed, the condition by which it acquires the title, was very inadequately provided for,
from the insufficiency of the existing European Establishments. The above are some of the most promi-
nent measures of Mr. Adam's short administration of seven months. But matters were not yet
brought to the issue to call for the practical application of these principles, when Lord Amherst arrived
and assumed the Government. Mr. Adam was obliged, by the growing strength of the disease
(a dysentery) which bad been preying on his constitution for several years, to proceed to sea for his
recovery ; he thus hod no part in ^e subsequent measures of the Government.

He remained at this Presidency until the middle of September, for the purpose of introducing his
successor. Lord Amherst, to a knowledge of the affairs requiring his most immc^Uate care. His public
life may be fairly stated to have closed with his government on the Ist of August 1823, for what

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH. 27

remains to be told is only the melancholy tale of an increasing infirmity, for which he hi vain sought
relief — first in a voyage, by sea, to Bombay ; then in a land journey through Central India, during
the bracing months of January and February ; and, finally, in a residence, for the hot season, in the
mountains conquered from the Nipaulese. All was however, fruitless : the disease was too firmly rooted
in his constitution to yield to change of air, relaxation, or any other remedy that could be applied in
India. Returning at the close of the ensuing rains, a consultation of medical men was held at Ga-
zeepoor, on the Ganges, who gave it as their decided opinion that there was no hope but in a voyage to
Europe. Mr. A. then came down to Calcutta for the purpose of embarking, in a state of weakne!*8 that
prevented his again taking his seat at the Council table, or even admitting the visits of his most intimate
and dearest friends. A passage was engaged for him in the * Albion,' Captain Swainson, which finally
sailed for Liverpool on the 16th April 1825 ; but the hand of death was upon him, and he did not live
to revij^it the land of his fathers, or to gladden the hearts of his family who doted on him with an
affection unknown to those who have not a son or brother who has wrought for himself the same
high claims to love and veneration. Mr. Adam died off Madagascar on the 4th June, and when the
vessel arrived without him, many, indeed, were the hearts in which a mournful blank was left by the
intelligence. Public tokens of the high esteem and respect in which his character was held, and of the
regret universally felt at the loss, have not been wanting to grace his memory, but this can afford little
consolation to the many who enjoyed his friendship and who were attached to him by ties they can
never transfer to another ; while to his family, whose affection had been for years feeding in absence
on the report of his fame and virtues, and a fondly-cherished hope that he would be restored to their
embraces and society in the maturity of his years and honors — all these additional testimonies of his
value were but aggravations of the affliction with which that hope was to be abandoned for ever.

In every relation of life Mr. Adam was amiable in a very rare degree ; and this was acknowledged,
not only by those who, participating in his society and counsels, felt the influence of his character in the
warmth of their own feelings ; but by those also who saw him at a greater distance, and were even
opposed to him in political sentiment. A most gratifying proof of this was afforded on the occasion of
his relinquishing the Government, and preparing for the voyage to Bombay, from which he then expected
a partial, if not entire restoration to health.

A full-length portrait of Mr. Adam is placed in the Town Hall ; the picture has been well executed
by G. Chinnery, and is indeed a faithful memorial of features, which cannot be looked upon without
reverence and affection ; for they carry in them the aspect of virtue united to high talent, and blended
with a mild unassuming dignity of dci)ortment, such as cannot fail to rivet the attention of a stranger
even to Mr. Adam's fame and merit. Mr. Adam's public character h&s been best described by the
relation of the principal circumstances of his public life, the attachment of his friends — of whom to the
last day of his existence, the number was constantly increasing, without the loss of a single one of those
previously gained, is the best test of his private virtues. There never was an individual in whom the
qualities which form an estimable, useful, and distinguished man in public life, were more happily
blended with those which engage the affections of mankind in private intercourse ; frank, sincere and
open-heartud, his manners had a bewitching simplicity that banished restraint, and won their way to
immediate esteem and confidence. He was blessed also with a cheerfulness of disposition and suavity
of temper, which nothing could ruffle or interrupt : and, to crown the whole, his temperament was so
truly social and his heart so thoroughly kind, and he returned the affections of others with so ready a
warmth, that all who a))proached him found their early regard kindle rai)idly into a sincere and lasting
friendship. His charities were most extensive, and the real benevolence displayed, as well in tlie
manner, as in the liberality with which his assistance was afforded, might furnish a copious theme of
eulogy ; for many are the traits of this description with which every one who has lived with him in
India must be familiar. With such a disposition, it cannot be wondered at that his fortune, on leaving
the country, should have been so small as barely to yield him a competency, though personally a man
of no expensive habits and without family. Such, however, was the case, notwithstanding the very
splendid career of service he had run ; but Mr. Adam's reward is in the reputation he has left behiTid
him, and in the sentiment of gratitude and admiration with which his name will ever be inseparably
linked.

To the memory of John Adam, eldest son of The Right Honorable William Adam,
Lord Chief Commissioner of the Jury Court in Scotland.
He arrived in Bengal, 1796,
And passed throusrh the highest offices in the Civil Service of the East India Company.
Placed in the supreme Council in 1819, he was agr^^in appointed
to that station when the usual term of holding it had expired.
From January to August 1823, he acted as Governor of India :
Bad health compelled him to embark for England in March 1825,
but he died on the 4th June, in the 47th year of his age, and his remains were committed to the ocean.
His indefatigable zeal, and exemplary inteflrrity ; the firmness of his conduct ;
his elevated views, and the wisdom of his measures ;
have been recorded by the Supreme Council of Bengal,
and by those who preside over the affairs of India, in England.
The modesty of his demeanor, his cultivated and
intelligent conversation, the kindness of his nature and active benevolence
will long be cherished in the hearts of those who dedicate this marble to his virtues.

1 u the memory of Axkdrew Stirllnff^

second <$on of Admiral Stirllafjr, of Woburri lann, in tUu County of Surry,
who died at this Frcsiilency on the 23rd uf May, 1830, in the 3(>th year of his Bge.
Mr. Stirling held the ofHces of Peniian Secretary to Government,
and Deputy Secretary in the Secret and PoUtical Department.
Tliroughout his career in hfe. he was not only eminently distingruisned by great taleDts^
hut by urbanity of manner.*), and excellence of disposition.
While his loss as a public servant will be felt by (Jovernnient,
His private virtues will be cherished by a numerous circle of acquaintance
who loved him for his worth and admired him for his great acquirements.
This Tablet is erected by his father, as a tribute of afTectioa
to the memory of a much beloved and much lamented soo.

CT^e following is an extract from one of the periodicals of the day^ respecting the character and high
attainments of the late Mr, Stir ling. J

*' Distingaished as Mr. Stirling^ was by talents and acquirements of rare excellence ; possessing as
he did in an especial degree, the qualities that fit for the most arduous duties of public life ; and marked
as his career had been by an eminently beneficial and successful application of hia powers to some of
the most important and difficult exigencies of the public service, there is little doubt that, had it
pleased Providence to prolong his life, he would eventually have attained still higher offices and honours
than those which he held, with equal credit to himself, and advantage to the Government he so zealously
and ably served.

Familiar at once with the general principles that regulate Political affairs, and with the varied and
intricate circumstances in this country to be weighed in the adjustment of Diplomatic relations ; he
was at the same time thoroughly master of all the peculiar and conventional forms of Oriental reg^ulation
and intercourse ; and he added to these a patience, a temper, a tact, and peculiarly engaging urbanity
of manner, which gave them the most successful effect. Nor was his usefulness confined to the depart-
ment to which he more immediately belonged. In all branches of the Civil administration of the
country, he had frequently had the opportunity of affording the Government and his colleagaes the
benefit of extensive knowledge, and of sound and comprehensive views.

Mr. Stirling, (like most minds of a superior order) by an assiduous economy of time, satisfied the
claims of business and routine, and found leisure to bestow time on the cultivation of general science,
and elegant literature. Were it possible, in such a hasty notice as tliis, we could shew that, for the
former particularly, he had a deep but an unostentatious enthusiasm.

The death of such men in the prime of life must be severely felt, especially by that circle of whidi
they were the ornaments. Of Mr. Stirling's private virtues, however, it is not our purpose to speak in
this place. They live in the cherished recollection of many among us who loved him for his worth,
and admired him for his talents and acquirements.

To the Junior members of the distinguished service to which he belonged, he has left the benefit of
an example they would do well to imitate, — of conduct based upon the highest principles ; of a life of
uniform, and great utility ; of unsullied rectitude ; dignified application and honorable fame."

He expired on the evening of the 23d May 1830, ^ter ten days illness.

His remains were placed in a leaden coffin and followed to the grave by a large concourse of mourn-
ing friends, European and Native ; amongst the latter were observed almost the whole of the distinguished
Native Princes, Nabobs, Rajahs and others.

f The following is taken from a large handsome Marble Monument f surmounted with Militeary
and trophies^ near the N, W, Staircase of St. John^s Church :—J

This Cenotaph was erected by the Neemutch Field Force,

in honor of their commander,

Lieut.-Colonel John Ziudlo^ C. B.

This distinguished officer entered the Bengal Army on the 16th February 1796,

and his career was marked by an ardent devotion to the duties of a soldier ;

a generous enthusiasm and unabating zeal, which shed a lustre on the profession to which he belonged.

By his heroic intrepidity in the arduous contest

between the British troops and those of the Kajah of Napat, in the years 1814 and 1815,

he obtained the unqualified approbation of the Supreme Government of India,

and the Honors of the Bath from his Sovereign.

His life fell a sacrifice to the energry of his spint which led him into the field at the head of his division,

whilst suffering under a painful and dangerous illness, under which he sunk, in Camp, at Barode,

on the 22nd of September 1829, in the 44th year of his age.

Just and inflexibly firm, yet temperate and mild in the exercise of his authority.

He ensured the respect, whilst be conciliated the attachment of the Troops under his command.

The virtues that adorned his private life endeared him to his family and friends,

by whom he was sincerely esteemed and beloved ;

and who, whilst they unfeignedly mourn his loss, warmly cherish his remembrance.

Next to the above is the following Tablet : —

BRIGADIER ANQUETIL.— rXfl/c in command of Shah Soojah^s Army.)
Lieutenant. -Colonel Thomas John Anquetil, one of the many and noble victims of the Cabool
Massacre, was a Native of the Island of Jersey, and is a Cadet of 1804, he was a man of studious habits.
Tliere is an anecdote told by some of his shipmates that be used to study the Hindoostanee at the mast-
head on his voyage to India. He was well acquainted with the Oriental language, as well as with the
French. He served with distinction in the Mahrattah Campaign and was for a long period attached to
the Light Brigade. His first command was that of the Pioneer cori)s.

When that regiment was broken up he obtained the command of the 57th Regt. N. I. as Major,
and from thence he was appointed to the command of his own Regiment, the 44th N. I. It was
whilst in this command that he received a letter offering him the Deputy Adjutant Generalship of the
Army. Whilst on his way to the Presidency Lieut. -Colonel Anquetil was stopped at Cawnporc to assume
the duties of Adjutant General of the force assembled under General Stevenson, and accompanied that
force during the Shikawattie Campaign. At the termination of that duty he aMumed his office of Deputy

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH. ^ 31

Adjutant General of the army ; he was selected purely from the high character he bore, without interest
or favoritism. He was an officer of undoubted ability, a thorough disciplinarian, and was highly
versed in the science of military tactics. His private plans and military drawings shewed him to be a
man thoroughly acquainted with his profession, and he wanted but a fair opening to have distinguislied
himself in the highest military command. He was a warm-hearted man and possessed of the strictest
integrity and the most honorable feeling, but he did not belong to a particular click in Calcutta, and
there was some manoeuvering to get him out of the department in which he was then serving. This
could only be done by offering him a better appointment and one more congenial with his feelings and
habits. He was accordingly selected by Lord Auckland to the command of the Oude Contingent force,
with the rank of Brigadier. Had he remained in the Adjutant General's department, he would have
accompanied the army of the Indus under Sir John Keane, would have been a C.B. most probably,
and would perhaps have been offered to share with the staff of that Army in the " Dourannie honors !"
but such was not his lot ; he was, alas ! destined to bear a part in the late eventful scenes in Affghanis-
tan, and there to terminate his honorable career, ere he had gained those honors which most assuredly,
from his high qualities and talents he would have attained under more fortimate circumstances. But
to return to the brief outline of his service. The high efficiency and superior discipline of the Oude force
did not fail to arrest the attention of the authorities. He was appointed Inspecting officer of all the
Contingents, and accordingly inspected the Bundlekund Legion, Scindiah's Contingent, and that of
Kotah. It was during this tour that he was offered the command of Shah Soojali's Army, and he
proceeded through the Punjaub to assume that command. As far as opportunity and time admitted,
he introduced much order and many improvements in the Army, extensive and scattered as it was
throughout Affghanistan. Such was the value which he always placed on the drill and internal economy
of the several Regiments, that he took much pains in personally su}>erintending such important details.
Some ill natured comparison to the acts of a Sergeant- Major appeared in the public prints, but this was
far from his character ; he was quite the gentleman ; he insisted on duty being well done by all, but he
never interfered beyond his proper sphere. He was a safe man and was infinitely above any thing that
was undignified or unworthy of a high minded gentleman. During the disastrous events prior to the
evacuation of Cabul, he was only second or third in command. But in the unhappy and fatal retreat,
we had a glimpse of what he was capable. On succeeding to the chief command, '* he restored order
where all was confusion. He kept the remnant of the fatal Army admirably together." At such a
crisis no common mind could have done this, but he fell at Jugdulluk, and alter this all was disorder,
desperation, annihilation.

llius fell Brigadier Thomas John Anquctil, one of the most valuable and zealous officers of the
Bengal Army. Without any disparagement to others, it is not unreasonable to surmise that since
he had such influence over the European part of the force, the troops must have held him in much
res})ect, and that had his life been spared he might have led a portion of the army onward in safety
to Jallalabad. It is not possible to decide until after the ** investigation" has been made, what degree
of responsibility falls on Anquetil for the share he may have borne in the capitulation at Cabul. Many
conjectures may be formed, but this will be said by those who knew him, that he was the last man
that would be likely to capitulate, and too experienced in Asiatic warfare to trust to the tender mercies
of the treacherous Affghans ; treacherous to a proverb, throughout Asia.

JAMES PATTLE, ESQ.-^(Ofthe Bengal Civil Service.)

The late James Pattle, Esq., Senior Member of the Board of Revenue, and the oldest in the Bengal
Civil Service, died at his residence in Chowringhee, on Thursday the 4th of September, 1845, in the
69th year of his age. He had been suffering for a long period from a painful disease, which terminated
in his death. He entered the Civil Service in the year 1790. Inconsequence of Mr. Pattle's own
earnest request his funeral did not take place here, but his remains were sent to England and deposited
in the Vault of his family at Camberwell. He lived respected and beloved.

LIEUTENANT-COLONEL JAMES ACHILLES KIRKPATRICK.

Lieut.. Col. James Achilles Kirkpatrick, was the son of Colonel Kirkpatrick, formerly of tiie
East India Company's Military Service, at Fort St. George, and late of Keston, near Bromley, in Kent,
and was bom A. D. August 1761. After receiving a liberal education at different respectable Senunaries,
and at Eton, he was appointed to the military service of the East India Company, and proceeded
in the year 1779-80, as a Cadet, to Madras. In 1778-9, the impaired state of his health compelled
him to revisit hia native country, where, however, he remained but a short time, returning to India
before the conclusion of the first war with Tippoo Sultan, in the second campaign of which he
8erved with the rest^rve of the army, under the command of Lieut. -Colonel (Major General) Gowdie.
Towards the end of 1793 he was appointed to the charge of the Garrison of Vizianagram, which he
soon relinquished for the appointment of Persian translator to the detachment serving with his Highness
the Nizam. In this situation he continued until October 1795, when, on tha»* death of Lieutenant
William Stewart, he succeeded to the office of Assistant to the Residency at llydrabad, which was at that
period filled by his brother, Colonel William Kirkpatrick, who being obliged early in the year 1797 to
proceed to Bombay, and subsequently to the Cape of Good Hope, for the benefit of his health, the char^ge
of the British interests at the Court of Hyderabad devolved on the subject of our present notice.

It was during the period of his acting as Resident at the Court of Hyderabad that Captain Kirk-
patrick had the honor, under the directions of the Marquis Wellesly, of ne^ciating and concluding
with his Highness the Nizam the important treaty by which the alarming power and influence of France
in the Deccan were completely annihilated, and that Prince was thus rendered an efficient ally of the
Company and enabled to co-operate with effect in the war which was soon after produced by the perfidy
and restless ambition of Tippoo Sultaun. Lord Mornington testified his approbation of this important
and eminent service by appointing Captain Kirkpatrick to the vacant office of Resident at the Court of
the Nizam, and by conferring on him the peculiar distinction of Honorary Aid-de-Camp to the GoTemor
General. He was the first person on whom this honor was bestowed, though it has since extended to
others. It may in a peculiar manner be said to have been instituted to mark and dignify the merits of
Captain Kirkpatrick.

In October, 1800, Captain Kirkpatrick, after a long and arduous negociation, succeeded in concluding
a new treaty with the Nizam, whereby the political ties which connected the British Government and tht
state of Hydrabad were drawn together more closely than before : while the money subsidy hitherto
paid by his Highness in defrayment of the expences of the British Troops employed in the defence of
his dominions, was commuted for the territories acquired by his Highness in consequence of the wars of
1791-2, and 1799 with Tippoo Sultaun, which were now assigned in perpetual sovereignty to the
Company. The sense entertained by Lord Wellesly of Captain Kirkpatrick's services on this important
oc<;asion will best appear from the following copy of a letter from his Lordship to Captain Kirkpatrick,
dated November 10th, 1800 :—
Sir,

** Since the commencement of my administration of the affairs of the British empire in India, frequent
occasions have arisen at the Court of Hyderabad to require the exertions of address, firmness and
perseverance on the part of the British Resident and on the success of the ncgociations entrusted to his
management, the most important political interests of the Company in India have essentially depended.
In all these instances your general conduct has afforded me the greatest degree of satisfaction, and 1
now repeat, with pleasure, the public tribute of justice which I rendered to your eminent services in
accelerating the destruction of the French influence at Hyderabad, in the year 1798, and in bringing the
Nizam's forces into the field with so much promptitude and alacrity during the war in Mysore in 1799.
The conclusion of the treaty of the 12th of October 1800 furnishes a confident expectation of the
lasting security and permanent duration of the British power in the Deccan ; the service which you have
rendered to the Company and to the British interests in India by your able and assiduous exertions
throughout the course of the long and intricate ncgociations which preceded this important measure,
demands my most cordial approbation and entitles you to the gratitude of the Company and of your
country.

*' 1 discharge a satisfactory part of my public duty in recording these sentiments on the proceedings
of this Government, but the peculiar merit of your services and the great importance of the beneficial
consequences which have flowed from yoursuccess will induce me to submit to the Court of Directors
my earnest recommendation that you should be rewarded by some honorable mark of pubUc distinction.

I am, Sir, &c.
(Signed) Wellesly."

In December 1800 Captain Kirkpatrick attained the rank of Major in the army on the Madras Esta.
blishment. From this time nothing material occurred at the Court of Hyderabad, until April 1802,
when Major Kirkpatrick concluded a treaty of commerce between the East India Company and his
Highnetfs. By this treaty the merchants acquired for the first time a degree of security, and the trade of

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH. 33

the two countries received an impulse that has since condnced essentially to the advantage of both. The
difficulties experienced by Mi^or Kirkpatrick in accomplishing the beneficial measure, and consequently
the merit of his success on the occasion, can only be duly appreciated by tliose who are acquainted with
the extraordinary obstinacy, the profound ignorance of every true principle of commerce, and the fixed
prejudices which usually prevail in Anaiic, and particularly in Mahomedan Courts, on almost every
question of political economy.

In the year 1803 the British Government was compelled, in defence of its own rights and those of its
allies, (both of them invaded by the restless ambition of the confederated Mahratta chieftains, Dowlut
Rao Scindeah, Raghojie Bhosillah, and Jeswunt Rao Holkar,) to appeal to arms. On this occasion
the power of the Court of Hyderabad, stimulated by the unremitted exertions of the Resident, proved
eminently useful, and contributed, in no small degree, to the speedy and glorious termination of the war
in the Deccan. What considerably enhanced the merits of these efforts was, their being made in the
midst of difficulties occasioned by the daily expectation of the Nizam's death, and consequent anxiety
respecting a succession to the throne. His Highness actually died on the 6th of August, being only
two days prior to the commencement of hostilities by the attack on and capture of Ahmednaghur.
Owing however, to the prudent measures adopted by Major Kirkpatrick under the general direction of
Lord Wellesly, Secunder Jah, succeeded to the vacant musnud of his father without the slightest
opposition, and the energies of the new Government were immediately applied to a vigorous co-operation
with the British forces against the common enemy.

The favourable sentiments entertained by Lord Wellesly of Major Kirkpatrick 's conduct and ser-
vices on this occasion, were signified to him by direction of his Lordship, in the following terms,
contained in a letter dated 30th of March, 1804 : —

" Lord Wellesly desires me to add, that as soon as the British troops are withdrawn from the field,
and are returned to their usual stations, it is his intention to afford you a public testimony of his appro-
bation of your conduct, during the late crisis of affairs ; and to recommend your services to tlie notice
of the Court of Directors, and of his Majesty's Ministers. His Lordship will not loose sight of your
claim to some mark of distinction to his Majesty's Government in England, and will not fail to urge
your pretentions in the manner most likely to obtain for you those honors, to which he is of opinion
you are entitled for your public services under his Lordship's administration, which he recommended
strongly to the Government in England some years ago ; and which in his judgment have been withheld
from you unjustly."

In October 1804 Major Kirkpatrick was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, and in
September of the following year he proceeded to Calcutta with the permission of the late Governor
G^eral, Lord Comwallls, partly for the benefit of his health, which was somewhat impaired by his
long Residence in Hyderabad, but chiefly for the purpose of conferring with his Lordship, on the
political affairs of that Court. He reached Calcutta under the affliction of an alarming complaint with
which he had been seized on his journey, and of which he died on the 15th of October 1805, after a
short illness, in the 41st year of his age.

In private life he was eminently distinguished for all those qualities which gain the esteem, fix the
attachment, and secure the confidence of friendship ; and his numerous friends will long and deeply
lament his premature death, with a sorrow which can alone be surpassed by that of his afflicted family,
who have, in him, lost a relatioa beloved with the warmest tenderness and the purest affection. The
high diplomatic situation in which he died, he had filled for a period of nine eventful years ; and it has
been shewn, that, in the course of that time, he was success^ly employed under the direction of the
Marquis Wellesly, in some of the most important negociations which took place during the wise,
vigorous, and brilliant administration of that enlightened and illustrious Statesman. The recorded testi-
monies of the zeal and talents which he displayed in his official character, are no less just than numerous ;
and whUst they bestow on his memory ^e most honorable trjbute, they hold out to others the most
encouraging example.

In addition to public honors, the general respect entertained for his character was strongly testified
by a numerous attendance of the principal European inhabitants of Calcutta at his funeral ; a respect
which is greatly enhanced by the circumstance of his being in some measure a stranger in this settlement,
and whi<^ therefore serves to shew the high estimation in which he was universally held.

Lieutenant- Colonel Kirkpatrick was interred in the South Park Street Burial-ground. The Inscrip.
tion on the Monument will be found inserted among those in the Cemetery.

31 OLD, OR MISSION CHURCH.

REV. JOHN ZACHARIAH KIERNANDER, CFbumder qfthe Old, or Mmkm CkureMJ

Rev. John Zachariali Kiemander, founder of the Old, or Mission Church, was bom on tfap
2l8t of November 1711* at Akstad in Sweden, a place situated about 4 Swedish miles fktnn the
great city of Lindkopingi in the province of East Gothland. He received the first mdimenta of
Bcholadtic learning at the Gymnasium of Lindkojnng, but completed his education at the Univernty
of Upeal. In his 24th year he became desirous of vbiting foreign Universities, and on obtaiiunf
recommendatory letters and a passport, by the influence of his friends in Stockholm, he took bit
passage through the Baltic to Stralsund, and from thence to Halle in Saxony, where he arrived on the
17th of November 1735. He was favorably received at the University of Halle by Doctor Grothilf Angoat
Frankc, who immediately appointed him Inspector of the Latin School, and afterwards favoured him with
other benefices. Kiemander spent four years under the patronage of Dr. Franke when, having satisfied
his youthful curiosity, he began to think of returning to Sweden, but at this very crisis a drcumstance
occurred which took him from his native land for ever. The Society instituted at London for Promot-
ing Christian Knowledge wrote to Dr. Franke, requesting him to recommend to them a proper person
to be sent out as a Missionary to Cuddalore. Dr. Franke made the proposal to Kiemander, who, after
some deliberation, accepted the vocation. On the 20(h of November 1739, he was ordained to the
ministry.

Mr. Kiemander immediately set out for London, where he arrived on the 25th of December. He
was lodged at Kensington by his Majesty's chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Ziegenhagen,* and on the 29th
introduced by that gentleman to the Society, who received him with a public welcome.

Mr. Kiemander left England in the *' Colchester" Indiaman on the 29th of April 1740, and arrived
at Cuddalore on the 2dth of August as colleague to the Rev. John Ernest Gueister, who was appointed
to Madras in 1744, when the charge of Cuddalore devolved on Mr. Kiemander, who then had a congrega-
tion of 154 persons left by Sartorious, a former Missionary, removed to Madras. Mr. Kiemander wh
treated with the most polite attention by Admiral Boscawen, and the Government of Fort St. David.
That Government put him in possession of the Portuguese Roman Catholic Church at Cuddalore, and
at the same time expelled all Popish Priests from the Company's territories.

On the 26th of November 1749, the day after the receipt of the Governor's order, the ESngliah,
Tamulian and Portuguese congregation assembled to hear divine service, and a sermon in the three
different languages, when the church was solemnly dedicated, and called Christ Church.

The Mission prospered much under new hands ; Mr. K. was in the habit of going several times a-week
to the villages to malce known the Gospel of Jesus Christ ; his congregation in Cuddalore increased to
200 persons, and in the following year received an increase of 160 converts.

About this period Mr. Kiemander was married to Miss Wendela Fischer, a lady of some property ;
she was an amiable woman, an attached wife, and, being faithful to God, was a helpmeet for him in
preaching the Gospel. With this lady he lived in happiness many years, and '* the Lord prospered
his labours."

On the 4th May 1758, Lieutenant General Count Lally took Cuddalore by capitulation ; Kiemander
waited on that impetuous officer, who told him no Protestant missionary was then required at Cuddalore,
but that he would grant him a passport to go to Tranquebar ; this was accepted, and on the 8th of May
Mr. Kiemander arrived at the Danish capital, stripped of aU his property excepting a few articles of
apparel. He was a man of ardent zeal, of great integrity, with a dauntless courage and decision of
mind ; both he and his wife were devoted to the cause of their Lord and Saviour ; they had borne their
trials together, supporting each other's faith in the midst of them, living as heirs together of the grace of
life ; the blessing of God was upon them as they laboured in his service. Mr. K. was a man of polite
address and handsome countenance, alike fitted to appear in the Court of a Nawab or in the hamlet of
a Hindoo. On the 2d of the following June, Fort St. David fell also by capitulation to the arms of
France, in consequence of which, as no immediate prospect appeared of the restoration of the £nglidi
to Cuddalore, Kiemander tumed his eyes to Bengal, where the battle of Plassey, in the preceding year,
had laid the foundation of an empire.

On the 11th of September Mr. Kiemander left Tranquebar, accommodated by the munificenoe of
the Danes, — ^the friends of the tme religion. On the 29th of the same month he arrived in Calcutta, and
declared his intentions to the Government of establishing a Mission there. Governor Clive, Mr. Watts
and the other gentlemen of the Council approved of and favored his propositions.

Mr. Kiemander, on the 4th of November 1758, was blessed with a son. The reader may judge what
a reception Mr. Kiemander met with in Calcutta, when he is told that Colonel Robert Clive, Mrs.
Margaret Clive, Mr. William Watts, and Mrs. Frances Watts, stood sponsors for the child, who was
named Robert William, in honor of his high sponsors.

Mr. Kiemander opened the Mission School at Calcutta on the 1st of December 1758 ; on the 3l8t of
December of the following year 175 children were received by him, 37 of which number he had pro-
vided for. Mr. Kiemander at this time occasionally preached at Serampore, where the Danes, then in
an infant settlement, had no chaplain.

Mr. Kiemander was very graciously received in Calcutta by the Rev. Henry Butler and the Rev.
John Cape, Chaplains at the settlement ; in the years 1758, 1759-'60 and '61, they procured him large
subscriptions for carrying on the pious work he was engaged in, and assisted in his peculiar offices at
a minister of the Gospel. Mr. Kiemander on the 9th of May 1761 was deprived ot his lady; the
marriage was one of affection and never impaired by the bitter vicissitudes of life. She was a woman

Chapel at St. Jamea\

of piety and devoted to her husband, and she lived to see him admired and esteemed by all ; while his
religion was steadfast in the midst of many snares. The succeeding year, the 10th day of February 1762,
witnessed his onion with Mrs. Anne WoUey. In the year 1767 Mr. Kiernander was obliged to remove
from the house left him by the Company for the use of his Church and school, and, in co-isequenoe,
resolved to purdiase ground and bidld a Church at his own expense. In May of that year, and the
27th of his Mission, he laid the foundation-stone of the present Mission Church. About this period the
Court of the Emperor, Shah Alum, requested from Mr. Kiernander some copies of the Psalter and
New Testament in the Arabic language ; he complied, and had the satisfaction to hear they were so well
received by his Msyesty's Mallahs that he transmitted to Allahabad, where the Court was then held, all
the Arabic Psalters and Testaments in his possession.

As Mr. Kiernander was advancing in years he took two associates to assist him ; they were Romish
Priests, who, on their arrival at Calcutta, made a public abjuration from the errors of Popery : the
Rev. Mr. Bento de Silvestre and the Rev. Nanel Joze De Costa. These gentlemen drew on themselves
the censure of the conclave of Goa, and a Romish Priest was sent from thence to Calcutta, to excommuni-
cate them ; but his vain threats did not in the smallest degree effect the Protestant Mission at Calcutta.
The Mission Church would have been completed in 1770, had not its progress been stopped by the death
of the Architect.* The persevering Kiernander, by his own unremitting diligence, compensated in part
for this misfortune. On the 23d December the sacred edifice was consecrated and nam^l Beth Tephilla,
which in the Hebrew language signifies the House of Prayer ; the building cost the founder above
60,000 Sicca Rupees, 1,818 only of which sum, had been presented in benefactions. Thus, after a
lapse of fourteen years, Calcutta once more beheld an English Church, completed at the expense of a
stranger 1

As a piece of architecture Beth Tephilla cannot be compared to the old Church of St. John, des-
troyed by the barbarians in 1756 ; one was founded by an individual, the other by the united charity
of opulent merchants, in days when gold was plenty, labour cheap, and not one indigent European
to be found in all Calcutta ! Existing authorities testify to the perfect composition of that temple,
to which the Governor, on every Sunday, walked in solemn procession, attended by all the Civil
Servants and all the Military off duty. We learn from a tradition handed down to us by Lady Russell,
that the steeple of St. John's was very lofty and uncommonly magnificent. Mr. Kiernander wishing to
make the Mission Church as lasting as possible, constructed it of the best materials.

Mr. Kiernander lost his second lady in June 1773, after a continued sickness of six months; she
left her jewels for the benefit of Beth Tephilla ; with the amount produced Mr. Kiernander founded a
Mission School on his own ground, in the rear of the Church, capable of holding 250 children ; it
was founded on the 7th of July 1773, and completed on the 14th of March 1774. About tfiis period
the Rev. Mr. Diemar arrived to assist the Mission. In the year 1778 Mr. Kiernander began to expe-
rience the frailties and infirmities of age, his sight fedled him ; and in 1782 he was obliged to submit
to the painful operation of having his eyes couched ; that operation succeeded so well, that he was soon
after able to write to the Society to congratulate them, ** on his happiness, in once mure being enabled
to see the prosperity of the Mission.'' Lady Coote, when at Calcutta, attended and received the
sacrament at the Mission Church.

*' This good example," says the Missionary, ** is attended with a very happy influence and gives great
encouragement to the congregation."

In the year 1783 the Rev. Mr. Western Hulse, Chaplain to the late Sir Eyre Coote, on his return to
Europe, made the Mission a present of 500 Sicca Rupees ; Mr. Kiernander himself give a thousand
Rupees, and his son, Mr. Robert William Kiernander, gave 3,000 Rupees, the yearly interest of which
was to be applied to the support of the Mission.

Mr. Diemar this season returned to Europe.

Here we must reverse the scene and prepare ourselves to behold more unpleasing prospects. In the
year 1 786 a cloud of adversity was gathering over the hoary head of Kiernander ! He foresaw the ap-
proaching calamity, and wrote to the Society in England, expressing a wish of going to London with his
son, and earnestly soliciting them to send out another Missionary, lest his congregation should be forsaken
and his Church shut up. This venerable patriarch was now in the 76th year of his age and the 47th of
his Mission, an age at which, in any climate, the debilitated frame must feel severely the reverse oi
fortune ; but how unspeakably severe must it be felt by one, who for a period equal to the ordinary
life of man, had been accustomed to the gentle ease of India ! The hovering cloud burst in 1787, and
the ruin of all his fortunes foliowed.f The Seal of the Sheriff of Calcutta was placed even on Beth

* Mr. Martin Boutaot de Mevell, a Danish Architect.

t It is generally known that Mr. Kiernander about this time became a bankrupt, and a kind of
reproach has rested in consequence on the character of that eminent Missionary. Now the chief blame
attaching to this holy man seems to have been an error of judgment, in advanced life, in signing bonds
for his son, Mr. Robert Kiernander, and thus putting in jeopardy his property and usefulness. This
son appears to have had charge of his father's concerns during three years that he was totally blind
from cataract. He was a young, inexperienced person, and was drawn by various parties, some of
them natives, to engage in building houses. The bonds for raising the money required, were most
injudiciously signed by the venerable father, then between 70 and 80 years of age. An alarm took
place amongst the young man's creditors, and his whole property with that of his father, was attached
by the Sheriff, and sold at a ruinous loss. No writ was issued against the persons of Mr. Kiernander
and his sou. They resigned at once all they had to the han<hi of their creditors, and retired to
Chinsurah.

Such appears the real extent of the fault of this great Missionary, to be lamented deeply, but not to
be exaggerated into a fall from the spirit of the Gospel, and a dishonor put on his sacred profession.

36 OLD, OR MISSION CHURCH.

TephiHah ! The late Charles Grant, Esq. East India Director, immediately stepped forward and restored
the Church to religion ; he paid for it the sum it was appraised at, ten thousand Rupees ! Yes. One person
stepped forward and saved the temple, where the hymns of truth had been chaunted for seventeen
years ! The property of the Church, School and Burying Ground, was transferred on the last day of
October 1787, to three trustees : the Rev. Mr. Brown, Mr. William Chambers, and the purchaaer,
Mr. Charles Grant. Thenceforward it ceased to be the property of an individual. Since the transfer
of their Church, the Society have not been fortunate in their selection of Missionaries, and the duty
for upwards of 20 years devolved chiefly on the Rev. Mr. Brown, who, with such other chaplains as
have been attached to the Presidency, have rendered their voluntary services to the Miasion.
Mr. Kiemander was now resolved to quit Calcutta and offer his services to the Dutch at Chinsnrah,
where he was appointed. Chaplain; before his departure he went to the Burying Ground, and there
wept and bewailed between the graves of his two wives.

Amidst all the wreck of earthly things, the hope of eternal life was blooming in his soul, and ike mmt
was happy. At Chinsurah he performed service twice on the Sabbath, in a small Lutheran Chordi ;
the people were intent on commerce, and he found their society any thing but a pleasure. He was
within a few miles of Serampore, where he foimd a fgir kindred spirits, some of whom acknowledged
the benefit they had received through the words he had preached in their ears, and it was a pleasure
to him to hear this ; but even from his latter resting place he was doomed to be again thrust. In 1795,
war was declared by England against Holland, and the factory of Chinsurah was captured, Kiemander
was taken prisoner of war ; but, at last, he was permitted to go to Calcutta. How strange and nn-
searchable are the ways of God ! This was the place appointed for him to end his days ; he was taken
into the house of a relation of one of his wives, and in the following spring, while rising from his chair,
he fell and broke his thigh. During his illness, he was occasionally visited by the Rev. David Brown,
and a few others, who did their duty, in trying to comfort the aged pilgrim. His intellect remained
firm, and in a letter to his native place, Akstad, he blessed the day he had left it, to preach the Gospel,
and foretold that the whole English nation would unite in one Society to send the Gospel to the "*
Indies, and that this would give stability to the British power there.

What counsel could his visitors now offer to this man of nearly a century, compared to the
which his chequered life had laid up ? Even now his mind was in all its vigour ; it was sad, yet beaa-
tiful, to sit at his bedside.

The Rev. John Zachariah Kiemander died in Calcutta at the advanced age of eighty-eight, after a
residence in India of nearly sixty years. His remains were entombed in the sepulclure c^ his second
lady, at the Mission Burial Ground, formerly called by his own name.

The success which attended him throughout his labours, both at Cuddalore and Calcutta, was remark-
able. For example, from 1776 to 1786, the increase to his Portuguese and native congregation in Gal-
cutta was 518, and during the period of 28 years he baptized at least 209 adult heathen and received
into his congregation 300 awakened and converted Roman Catholics.

His liberdity throughout life was conspicuous. At one time he supported 40 children at his own
expense ; at another, he fitted up a house for his native congregation, then he built, as before stated, at
an expense of 60 or 70,000 Rupees, the old Church, which was opened in December 1770; next he
added school-rooms ; lastly, a Parsonage House was erected. In the meantime the poor ever found in
him a friend and helper ; and his hospitality to strangers and visitors to Calcutta was the theme of
every one's commendation.

He was in poverty, but not in a state of destitution in the close of life ; for the property settled on
his daughter-in-law was of course saved from the general wreck, and this afforded him means of snp-
port and comfort. He died in 1799.

THE REVEREND HENRY MARTYN.

Martyn, the subject of this memoir, was bom at Truro, in the county of Cornwall, on the
18th of February 1781. He was the third son of Mr. John Martyn, who was originally a labourer in
the Mines near Gwanaf, the place of his nativity, with no education but such as a country reading^
school offered ; during the periods of relaxation from manual labour he so intensely devoted Ids atten-
tion that, in time, he acquired a complete knowledge of Arithmetic, and some acquaintance also with
Mathematics ; and no sooner had he gathered these valuable and substantial fruits of persevering deli-
gence in a soil most unfriendly to their growth, than he was raised from a state of poverty and depres-
sion to one of com))arative ease and comfort. Admitted into the office of Mr. Daniel, a merchant in
Truro, he lived there as Chief Clerk, piously and respectably, enjoying considerably more than a compe-
tency. Henry, being 7 and 8 years of age, was placed by his father, about mid-summer 1788, at a
Grammar School in the town, the master of which was the Reverend Cornelius Cardew, D.D. Of his
childhood, previous to this period, little or nothing can be ascertained ; but those who knew him, con-
sidered him a boy of promising abilities. Upon his first entering the school. Dr. Cardew observes,
** he did not fail to answer the expectations that had been formed of him ; his proficiency in the classes
exceeded that of most of his school-fellows, yet there were boys who made a more rapid progress — not
perhaps that their abilities were superior, but their application was greater ; for he appeared to be the
idlest among them, but of a lively cheerful temper, and was frequently known to go up to his lesson
with little or no preparation, as if he had learned it merely by intuition. Henry remained here till he
was between 14 and 15 years of age, at which period he was induced to offer himself as candidate for a
vacant scholarship at Corpus Christi College, Oxford. Young as he was, he went there without any
interest in the University, and with only a single letter to one of the Tutors ; and there he acquitted
himself so well, (though strongly and ably opposed) that in the opinion of some of the examiners, he
ought to have been elected. How often is the hand of God seen in frustrating our fondest designs.
Had success attended him, the whole circumstances of his after life would have been varied ; and

howerer his temporal interests might have been promoted, liis spiritual interests would proUably have
sustained a proportionate loss.

After this repulse, Hairy returned home, and continued to attend Dr. Cardew's School till June
1797. In the spring of this year he directed his Tiews towards the University of Cambridge, his
residence being at St. John's College, where his name had been previously entert^ in the month of
October 1797. Here his time was so well employed that at the second public examination in the
summer, he reached the second station in the first class, a point of elevation which flattered his pride
not a little. Hie tenor of Henry Martyn's life, during this and the succeeding year which he passed
at College, was to the eye of all who knew, amiable and commendable* in the highest degree. He
was outwardly moral, and by unwearied application, exhibited marks of no ordinary conduct ; but he
seemed to have been totally ignorant of spiritual things, and to have lived without God in the world.
However it pleased God to convince him by a most affecting visitation of his Providence, that there was
a knowledge far more important to him than any human science. The sudden and heart rending inteUi-
gence of the death of his father was the proximating cause. It was not long after Henry had heesk
called to endure this gracious, though grievous, chastening from above, that the public exercises com-
menced in the University. From this time to that of proposing himself for admission to a Fellowship in
his CoUege, Mr. Martyn's engagements consisted chiefly in instructing some pupils and preparing him-
self for the examination, which was to take place previous to the election in the month of March 1802,
when he was chosen fellow of St. John's, soon after which he was admitted a Bachelor of Arts. Having
thus added another honor to those for which he was distinguished, Mr. Martyn departed from Cam-
bridge on a visit to his relations in Cornwall.

In the beginning of October 1802, all those tranquil and domestic joys were exchanged for the
severe engagements of the University, and the conclusion of this year constituted a memorable era in
Martyn's life. We have already seen him become the servant of Christ, dedicating himself to the
ministry of the Gospel, and we now behold him in a higher character, that of a Christian Missionary.
The immediate cause of his determination to undertake this office was a remark on the benefit which
had resulted from the services of Dr. Carey amongst the heathen of British India ; accordingly, when
he left England, he left it wholly for Christ's sake, and he left it forever.

On the 7th of January, the East Indiaman which was to convey Mr. Martyn to Calcutta, sailed from
Portsmouth and arrived at Calcutta on the 14th of May 1806. Mr. M. was received by the Rev.
Darid Brown, at his residence at Aldeen, near Calcutta. Here he applied himself most ardently to the
acquisition of Hindostanee, availing himself of the assistance of a Cashmerian Brahmin, whom he wearied
widi his unbending assiduity. He was also constant in preaching the Gospel to his countrymen, both
in the Mission Church and the new Church in Calcutta.

On the 13th September Mr. Martyn received his appointment to Dinapore, where he arrived on the
26th November. Here he commenced his ministry and continued until 1809, when he received the
intelligence of his mother's death. He removed from Dinapore to Cawnpore ; here also he received the
news of the demise of his sister, who had been so instrumental in his conversion to the Lord.

During Mr. Mart3rn's residence at Cawnpore he continued to minister assiduously in the early part
of the year 1810, to the temporal and spiritual wants of the poor, who statedly assembled before. his
house ; nor did he cease to do so whilst his health permitted.

In the midst of these exertions, a painful attack in the chest of a severer kind than he had ever before
experienced, forced upon Mr. Martyn's mind the unwelcome conviction of the necessity of some quiet-
ness and remission from labor. Such was the sinking state of his health, notwithstanding the seasonable
and important assistance derived ft*om- the presence of Corrie, that a removal from Cawnpore, either to
make a trial of the effect of a sea voyage, or a return, for a short time, to England, became a matter of
urgent necessity. The adoption of the latter expedient he had once determined upon, but again con-
ceiving that a bracing air would be beneficial, Mr. Martyn departed from Cawnpore on the 1st Octo-
ber, for Mr. Brown's residence at Aldeen, which he safely reached on the evening of the last day of
the month, restored after an absence of 4 years to an intercourse with his friends, (who on beholding
his pallid countenance and enfeebled frame, knew not whether to mourn most or to rejoice.) Though
still exceedingly infirm, he yet, with one exception, preached every sabbath at Calcutta, until he finally
left it.

On the 7th January, after having preached a sermon on the Anniversary of the Calcutta Bible So-
ciety, addressed the inhabitants of Calcutta, from that text of Scripture — " That one thing is needful,"
Mr. Martyn departed forever from those shores where he had fondly and fully purposed to spend all
his days.

He took his passage in the skip ** Ahmoody," Capt. Kinsey, bound to Bombay, from which place he
embarked on the *' Benares," Captain Sealy, for Bushire, where he commenced travelling by land to
Shiraz.

On the evening of the 24 th May, one year after entering where his time was spent, preaching and
arguing with the different sects on the coasts of Persia, Mr. Martyn left Shiraz with the intention to lay
before the King his translation of the New Testament ; but finding that, without a letter of introduction
from the British Ambassador, he could not be admitted into the royal presence, he determined to proceed
to Tehran, where, at that time, Sir Gore Ouseley, his Britannic Majesty's Minister, was residing. While
on his way thither his fever and ague increased with unremitting severity, but Sir Gore Ouseley,
together with his lady, paid him the most constant attention. On account of the general state of his
health, he determined to return to England by land, and accordingly he set his face towards it. His
journey was the most painful. The miseries he endured were intense, and it ended in his entrance into
heaven.

On the 2nd September, Mr. Martyn set out on his long journey of one thousand three hundred
miles, and on the 5th October reached Tocat, at a moment when the inhabitants of that place were
flying from the town because of the plague which was raging there. On the following day, '* no horses

being procurable/' be says in his journal, *' I had an unexpected repose ; I sat in the ordbard, and thought,
with sweet comfort and peace, of my God, in solitude; my company, my friends, my oomforten. O!
when shall time give place to eternity ; when shall appear the new heaven and new earth where dweUech
righteousness ; there shall in nowise enter in any thing that defileth ; none of that wretcbyedness tint
has made man worse than the beastt of the field ; none of those corruptions that add still more to the
miftsion of mortality shall be seen or heard any more/' Scarcely had Mr. Martyn breathed these as>
pirations after that state of blissful purity, for which he had attained such a measure of meekness,
than he was called to exchange a condition, of pain, weakness and suffering, for that everlasting ** rest
which remained! for the people of God." At Tocat, on the IGth of Octolier 1812, either falling a
sacrifice to the plague, which then raged there, or sinking under that disorder which when he penned
his last words, had so greatly reduced him, he surrendered his soul into the hands of hia Redeemo'.

So richly was the mind of Mr. Martyn endowed by the God of nature and of grace, that at no
period could his death be a subject of common lamentation to those who valued the interest of the
church of Christ. " He was in all hearts," observed one of his friends in India. *' We honoared him,
we loved him, we thanked God for him, we prayed for his continuance among us ; rejoiced in the good
he, was doing ; we are sadly bereaved ; where such fervent piety and extensive knowledge, and vigoroof
understanding and classical taste and unwearied application were all united, what might not hare ben
expected ; we cannot dwell upon the subjeol without feeling very sad. I land upon the walls of
Jerusalem, and see the lamentable breach tliat has been made in them, but it is the Lord ; He gave and
he hath taken away."

** Mr. Martyn," remarked another of his friends, in describing more particularly his inteUectnsl
endowments, " combined in himself certain valuable but distinct qualities seldom found together in the
same individual. The easy triumphs of a rapid genius over first difficulties never left him satisfied witk
present attainments ; his mind, which naturally ranged on a wide field of human knowledge, lost nothing
of depth in its expaniiiveness. He was one of those few persons, whose reasoning faculty does noc
suffer from their imagination, nor their imagination from their reasoning faculty ; both, in him, were
fully exercised, and of a very high order. His mathematical acquisitions clearly left him vrithout a rivsl
of his own age ; and yet to have known only the. employments of his more free and unfettered moments,
would have led to the conclusion that the classics and poetry were his predominant passion. But these
talents, excellent as they were, are lost in the brightness of those christian graces, by which he shone
as a light in the world, holding forth the word of life. In his faith, there was a singular, a child-like
simplicity ; great was its energy, both in obeying Christ, and suffering for his name's sake. By this he
could behold blossoms upon the rod when it was apparently dead, and, in those events which, like the
captain of the Lord's host seen by Joshua, presented at first a hostile aspect, he could discern a
favourable and friendly countenance.

Having listened to Uiat tender and overwhelming introduction of his Saviour, *' lovest thou me ?*' his
love was fer\'ently exercised towards God and man at all times and in all places ; for it was not like the
landspring which runs violently for a season and then ceases ; it resembled the fountain which flows
with a perennial stream from the recesses of the rock. His fear of God and tenderness of conscience,
and his watchfulness over his own heart could scarcely be surpassed in this state of sinful infirmity ; hut
it was his humility that was most remarkable : it might be considered as the warp of which the enldit
texture of his pie^ was composed ; and with this his other christian graces were so intimately blended
as to beautify and adorn his whole demeanour. It was, in truth, the accordance and consent of Tarious
christian attainments in Mr. Martyn which were so striking. The symetry of his stature in Christ was as
surprizing as its heighth. That communion which he held with his God, and which caused his face to
shine, wa.M ever tempered, like the Patriarchs of old, with the most awful reverence. The nearer the access
with which he was favored, the more deeply did he feel tliat he was but sinful dust and ashes. No
discordance could be discovered between peace and penitence ; no opposition between joy and Ciod and
utter abasement before him, and truly in this, as in every other respect, he had thoroughly imbibed the
spirit of his own church, which, in the midst of one of her sublimest Hymns of praise, would have her
members prostrate themselves before their Redeemer, in these words of humiliation, ** Thou that takest
away the sins of the World, have mercy upon us." To be zealous without love, or to have that which
is miscalled ** charity, without decision of character," is neither difficult or uncommon.

Mr. Martyu's zeal was tempered with love, and his love invigorated by zeal ; he combined also, ardoar
with prudence, gravity with cheerfulness, abstraction from the world with an enjoyment of its lawful
gratifications. His extreme tenderness of conscience, was devoid of scrupulosity. His activity in g^ood
works was joined to habits of serious contemplaticm. His religious affections, which were highly spin-
tualized, exceeded not the limit of the most cautious sobriety, and were so far from impairing his natural
affections, that they raised and purified them. Many sincere servants of Christ labour to attain heaven,
but possess not any joyful hope of reaching it. Mr. Martyn could say, we are always confident where-
fore we labour together with an assurance of Hi.s final and everlasting felicity. He had a dread of declen-
sion and a fear of losing things he had wrought. He knew that the way to Heaven was narrow from
the entrance to the end of it ; but he was persuaded that Christ was with him, walking in that way ;
and that He would never leave him nor forsake him.

" A more perfect character," says one who bore the burthen and heat of the day with him in India,
*' I never met with, nor expect to see again on earth. During the four years we were feUow-labourera in
this country, I had no less than six opportunities of enjoying his company, and every opportunity only
increased my love and veneration for him."

With respect to his labors, his own works praise him in the gates, far above human commendation.
By his means, part of the Liturgy of the Church of England, the Parables and the whole of the New
Testament, were translated into Hindostanee, a language spoken from Delhi to Cape Comorin, and
intelligible to many millions of immortal «ouls. By him and by his means also the Psalms of David
and tlie New Testament were rendered into Persian, the vernacular language of two hundred thousand

who bear the Christian name, and became known over one-fourth of the habitable globe. By him, also,
the imposture of the prophet of Mecca was daringly exposed and the truths of Christianity openly
vindicated, in the very heart and centre of a Mahometan empire I

God however has not left Mr. Martyn without witness in the hearts of those who heard him in
Europe and in Asia. Above forty adults and twenty children from the Hindoos, have received christian
baptism, all of whom, with the exception of a single individual, were converted by the instrumentality
of one man, himself the fruit of Mr. Martyn's ministry at Cawnpore.

At Shiraz a sensation has been excited which it is trusted will not readily subside, and some Mahome-
tans of consequence there have declared their conviction of the truth of Christianity, a conviction
which Mr. Martyn was the means of imparting to their minds. But when it is considered that the
extension of the Scriptures in Hindostanee, are in wide circulation, who can ascertain the consequences
which may have already followed, or foresee what may hereafter acme ? So long as England shall be
celebrated for that pure and apostolical Church of which Martyn was so great an ornament ; so long
as India shall prize that which is more precious to her than all her gems and gold, the name of the
subject of this memoir will not wholly be forgotten, and there will not be wanting those who will think
of the humble and unfrequented grave of Henry Martyn, and be led to imitate those works of mercy
which have followed him into the world of light and love.

The following simple tablet to the memory of Mr. Martyn is erected near the communion of the
Mission Church of Calcutta.

THE REVEREND DAVID BROWN.

The subject of this memoir was bom in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and had, from early youth, im-
bibed a serious and religious turn of mind, and was distinguished, among his connexions, for his amiable
disposition and thirst for general and literary information.

While on a journey, at about the 1 0th or 11 th year of his age, he fell into the company of a minister
whose attention was strongly attracted by his intelligent enquiries and remarks. Although a stranger,
he could not refrain from informing himself what line of life was designed for the interesting youth. His
parents answered, that as he evinced no great disposition to be employed on his father's farm, they
should probably bind him apprentice to some country tradesman, perhaps a druggist. The stranger
replied, " I think he is destined to a higher and more important profession ; and if you will entrust him
with me for a year or two, I will give him the preparatory attention necessary to his passing through
a grammar school, which may fit him for a College, and lead to his entering the Church." The parents,
struck with his liberal proposal, were soon induced to acquiesce, and young David resided mider the
private tuition of his new friend at Scarborough, till he removed to HuUy, to attend the excellent public
Grammar School, then under the care of the Rev. Joseph Milner. From this Mr. Brown proceeded
to the University of Cambridge, and was entered at Magdalene College. Though much interrupted
from severe illness, he prosecuted the usual studies, preparatory to entering the Church, but from which
he was most unexpectedly called off by a remarkable and unforeseen offer made to him of going to
India.

Immediately on his arrival at Calcutta, in 1786, he found himself in a most responsible situation at
the head of an extensive Orphan establishment, which demanded and received all his zeal, perseverence
and affection. Within a few days of his arrival he was nominated Chaplain to a Brigade in Fort William ;
the following year he superadded to these duties the charge which he voluntarily undertook with the
approbation of his brother chaplains, of the Mission Church. Thus did he work in the fuU tide of his
strength, officiating at each of diese distant points in succession, on every Sunday.

On his appointment in 1794 to the Chaplaincy of the Presidency, his work became still more increased.
He continued in charge of the Garrison and to officiate on Sundays, twice at the Mission, once at the
garrison, and once at the Presidency Church, besides establishing a weekly lecture.

During Mr. Brpwn's ministry a remarkable change took place at that Church to which he was
appointed. The attendance on Divine service there so greatly increased, that the Church-yard and
even streets adjoining were regularly thronged with the palanquins and equipages of the congregation ;
not because he was a popular preacher, or that his subjects or delivery were considered attractive ; but
because his consistent walk and conscientious earnestness finally prevailed, and he at length found that
a Church had been built up of living stones, that a Godly people and loving holiness had arisen even
in India. Whatever moraJ or political changes Asia may have undergone in the course of his period,
his warning and encouraging voice was unintemiptedly heard in the Churches of Calcutta for 25 years.
Thus were his faithful efforts crowned. It may be said of Mr. Brown, most literally, that he '* grew
in grace and in the fear of the Lord." He was exceedingly generous, and, at all times, hospitable.
To comprise, in one view, his generous, varied efforts to do good, it ought to be recorded how unbounded
wa9 his libendity in expending largely on the Mission School buildmg. In 1787, it was a clumsy
unplastered brick edifice of small dimensions, choked up with old houses ; and from being of a reddish
colour, had the appellation given to it by the natives of the ** Lall Greja," under which name it oonti-
nues to be best known among them even at the present day. Within, it was exceedingly uncouth, with a
brick pulpit built against a wall. Encouraged and assisted by the fine taste and scientific abilities of
his respected friend Mr. W. Chamber, Mr. Brown was not long in improving and enlarging it. His
Missionary zeal was very great ; he laboured himself and aided Ministers and Missionaries both of the
Church of England and other denominations. He extended generous aid, to a large amount, to the

40 OLD, OR MISSION CHURCH.

Missionaries of Serampore, for forwarding their general purposes ; as also more prirate asustanoe to
individuals among them. From the pulpit he made two remarkably successful exertionfl ; <me to
establish a fund for the relief of all indigent objects, whether Europeans or natives, and one for dw
benefit of the Tamul Christians. This first effort made from the pulpit of the Established Churdi in
India, on the subject of raising aid for native Christians, to supply them with the Scriptures in Hmoc
own tongue, was followed up, the next year, by the lamented Henry Martyn ; and gave rise to dw
formation of the Auxiliary Bible Society, which was suggested and organized by Mr. Brown, and to
which (as before to the original Bible Committee at Calcutta) he accepted the office of gratuitous Secre-
tary. Another favourite pursuit which Mr. Brown had the happiness to see brought to bear by his
exertions and become eminently useful, was a fund in aid of pious serious Ministers, to preach to the
congregation of the Mission Church, since the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge HfmstH
from supplying it.

In 1812 he became dangerously ill ; and truly there is no conveying an adequate idea of all he imder-
went in body and attempted in mind, during the long period of his sickn^s. At length he consentBd
to go out to sea, as the indispensible and sole remaining remedy for the recovery of his health. It is
less necessary to enter minutely on the distressing circumstances here. Suffice it to saj, that the
Indiaman in which he embarked for Madras struck on a sand in her passage down the bay. Thus the
trial of a voyage and the favorable effects ^ the little sea air he did enjoy, were frustrated. He was
brought back to Calcutta under most disadvantageous circumstances ; even to sleeping, exposed to
the unsalutary night air on the open deck of the crowded schooner which conveyed him and the other
passengers from the grounded vessel. This, together with the want of proper sustenance and comforti
necessary to his reduced state, greatly increased hLs weakness. In a word, it pleased God that he
should be brought back to the bosom of his family, and be surrounded by the objects of his tenderot
love, when his spirit was called hence. He was not again conveyed to his own abode, but was reodved
under the hospitable roof of Mr. and Mrs. Harington at Chowringhee, with a view to his receiving the
first medical attention under these disastrous occurrences. His holy habit of unreserved submiasiQS
to the will of God, as marked by his providence, shone forth. He never uttered a repining sound
that his reluctant and painful effort had been made in vain, but sincerely thought and declared, tint
sU was well : even as much so as if the plan had succeeded, according to the wishes and the expedi^
tions of his anxious friends for tlie restoration of his health and usefulness. His last morning wai
particularly calm, collected, and resigned ; and his last breath spoke thankfulness for the merdfal
consolations showered down upon him. While in the act of thus expressing his humble gratitade to
God and man, he closed his eyes, and raised his feeble liands, and still moved his lips in inward wor-
ship, but his voice was heard no more.

His remains were interred in the old (south) Park Street Burying Ground, close to the gateway. T1»
inscription over his tomb will be read in the usual place, and the following lines inscribed on a Ua^
Marble Tablet, will be seen in the old Church walls, the chief scene of his labours.

THE REVEREND THOMAS THOMASON.

The Rev. Thomas Thomaaon was bom at Plymouth on the 7th of June 1774, and nntU tiie 5th
year of his age lived under the care of a mother, who within a year after his birth, became a widov.
His father having died in the West Indies, his mother was doomed to shed the bitter tear of «i ^ tr ^Mw snd
desolation over the head of a fatherless child, whom it was her sole and anxious concern to none snd
educate. Circumstances affecting as tliese, rarely fail to heighten the reciprocations of fondness between
parents and children : nor was this observation ever more fully verified dian in the present imyfa^y^y

Having left Devonshire for London, four years after her bereavement, Mrs. Thomason placed her lOO
in a school at Greenwich, under the superintendence of Mr. Bake^Yell. There, to adopt her own woidt,
*' The affectionate care of one of the tutors over the spiritual instruction of one who was mj world of
happiness, was beyond all praise." For some time, nothing appeared in this boy beyond sweetDSB
of temper, quickness of apprehension, docility and diligence. In his ninth year a marked bleesiu
descended on his tutor's unremitting exertions, and he began to shew so much spirituality of feehnc,
and such decision of character, as to constitute this a distinct era in his life. Frequent questions oa
the Scriptures and applications of them to mankind and to herself, did show that the seed of rail
religion did not lie merely upon the surface of his mind, but had become radicated in his affections.

At the age of thirteen he was engaged as a tutor at Deptford. In this employment he continued
till midsummer of 1789 ; when, being a proficient in the French tongue, and Dr. Coke wanting an inter-
preter in that language, he was persuaded to accompany the Doctor, in that capacity, to the West
Indies. Soon after his return from the West, he became known to a lady of the name of Thornton.
Her affection for him was almost maternal. At Elland in Yorkshire, a Society existed, (it still lives
and is vigorous in well doing ;) the sole object of which was, the highly important one of

a fostering wing orer thoie aspirants to the ministry of the Church of England whose means were not
sufficient to enable them to take the necessary degree at the University. By the advice of Mr. Thorn-
ton, application was now made to this Institution. The late Rev. Henry Foster and the Rev. Richard
Cecil were deputed by the Directors of the EUand fund, to examine the pretensions of the young man
who now presented himself before them ; the period of suspense between the report of the examiners,
and the determination of the Society for some unexplained cause, lasted long. It was not till the
spring of 1791, that, after an interview with one of the Directors of the EUand Institution, his final ac-
ceptance was signified. ** I am. accepted,'' he writes to his mother March 18, 1791 ; '* no doubt your
heart overflows virith gratitude ; I am sure, mine does ; Mr. Atkins is quite a father to me ; the kindnesa
I have experienced in Leeds far eclipses all other favors : Blei^s the Lord, O my soul, and all that is
within me, bless His Holy name." A clergyman of the name of Clark, of Chcshara in Buckingham-
shire, at the recommendation of the EUand Society, who were to pay simply for his board, agreed to
instruct him without any remuneration. For this task he was well qualified. At the moment of his
departure from Chesham for Cambridge, joy at the prospect then opening before him, was absorbed in
grief at quitting the abode of his incomparable tutor. *' Curnec facilitas auctoritatem nee gravit as
amorem diminuit." At the close of the year 1798, Mr. Tbomason was ordained a Presbyter in the
Church of England by Dr. Comwallis, Bishop of Lichfield.

In 1808, Mr. Tbomason was appointed as a Chaplain at Calcutta, and left Portsmouth June 10,
and arrived at Calcutta on the 19th November, after experiencing a narrow escape from the shipwreck
of the vessel in which he had taken his passage. The second Sunday after landing at Calcutta, Mr.
Tbomason commenced his ministry at the Old Church, from the text, *^ Knowing the terrors of the
Lord, we persuade men."

So favourably had Mr. Tbomason 's labours been received, that before the lapse of six months, it was
expedient to enlarge his church. For the greater part of two years Mr. Tbomason was almost as
strong to labour in India as in England ; but the second hot season made a sensible impression on his
health, when he began to droop so much, that he was compelled to suspend his ministerial duties for
six weeks, and betake himself to a pinnace for a trip on the river. While Mr. Tbomason was seeking
restoration of strength from the breezes on the Hooghly, he had heard that Mr. H. Martyn arrived at
Calcutta very iU, and was going to sea for his health ; this news brought Mr. Thoniason back. The
years 1812 and 1813 were, to Mr. Tbomason, years of mourning beyond experience or expression;
sorrow upon sorrow roUed on him — (the deaths of Mr. Brown and Mr. Martyn). From the period of
Mr. Brown's death to the close of the succeeding year, when Mr. Tbomason obtained, after countless
difficulties, an assistant in his Church, his labours were unusually great. Besides pastoral concerns,
he was engaged in revising the Arabic version of the Scriptures and Martyn 's Hindoostani New Testa-
ment. He executed also, at the desire of the Government, the duties of Examiner in Arabic in the
College of Fort WiUiam ; and as if this were not enough, was preparing further work for himself, by
inviting the Church Missionary Society to place two Missionaries under his instruction (gratuitously)
in Oriental Uterature. But the project, which of all others lay nearest his heart, was tbe establishment
of native schools, and as a preparatory step, a school for School-masters.

At this time, in the middle of October 1813, the Earl of Moira arrived at Fort William, and after a
short period, began to attend the Mission Church, notwithstanding its unfashionable character, and
appointed its ministers to perform stated service at fiarrackpore ; he fixed upon him also to accompany
him as Chaplain in a journey of state through the provinces ; and as a yet further proof of the manner
in which he appreciated his talents and judgment, commissioned him in the early part of 1814, to draw
up and submit to the Government a plan for the education of the Indian population. He granted
permission likewise to Mr. Tbomason to have the labours of his assistant made permanent, a measure
which he more highly prized, than any personal favour in the power of the Governor General to grant.

The expedition of the Governor General through British India commenced, and Mr. Tbomason
accompanied him ; but it was not long after entering upon the second part of this expedition that Mr.
Thomason's zeal, fideUty and boldness, as well as his wisdom and discretion, were signally put to the
proof. He soon discovered, to his sorrow, that the Governor General, when travelling, paid no regard
to the Christian sabbath, As his Chaplain, therefore, he deemed it incumbent on him to notice thia
violation of the day of rest ; perceiving however, when he had hoped his suggestions had been attended to,
and his object attained, that arrangements were making on the Saturday for moving the next day, hii
conacience told him that he should be wanting in aUegiance to the Lord of the sabbath, if yielding to
natural inclinations, he offered no remonstrance. Painful as the measure was, he hesitated not to adopt
it. The reply was his dismissal from the Camp. The rigour of this stern and haughty mandate was
indeed tempered by an intimation from the Secretary that an apology would be accepted. To apologize
when in error was congenial to Mr. Thomason's conciliating disposition ; but in this case, apology was
cmt of the question — yet, as explanation was both admissable and becoming, he instantly wrote to the
Governor General, expressing his surprize at this order, but his readiness at the same time to comply
with it, adding, that he felt as strongly as ever, the importance of the subject, and thought it the duty
of a minister of religion to remonstrate where its interests were concerned ; but he lamented that any
thing should have appeared in the expression of his sentiments that was thought disrespectful. The
Governor General was satisfied, and, for a time, respect was paid to the sabbath day.

Mr. Thomason's return to his flock in 1815 was an event of mutual joy to himself and them.

In January 1824 he was fixed in the Cathedral. The autumn of this year was remarkable for an
epidemic of a singular character : it raged in Calcutta, and Mr. Tbomason was one of those who suffered
from its violence.

In the year 1825, he determined, on account of Mrs. Thomason's health, which was declining, and
in hopes of her restoration, to return to England ; accordingly in the month of October his passage
was engaged. Like many events that occur in life, varied by the strongest light and shades, on his

arrival, he had been under medical treatment, and therefore it proved absolutely neceHsry that he
should seek restoration by change of climate. A ship being about to sail for the Maaritiofl, prqpwmtioas

proved beneficial, but when the anchor was dropped at Port Louis, June 7th, which proved to be hialnrtb-

cordiality of feeling one generally found ; in tliis combination they were so in him. Apathy did not cUM

In reference to the former, his character, you will see the perfect and upright man as described,
whether you regard him in his private Christian character or as a minister of the sanctuary.

As a private Christian there was all that constituted the character whose end is peace ; he k*d al
those elements which compose the perfect and devout man, although it was not until he had attained to
man's estate that his mind was enlightened to see the necessity of that great change which conatitntes
this character, and which the Scriptures represent under the idea of *' a new birth," ** m resurrectioa
from death to life," yet when that light was vouchsafed it was the Holy Spirit's own work, and it wis
complete and entire. His faith in Christ was exclusive of all other ground of trust. His simple •Sw^ was
that '* he might be found in Christ ;" this was all his salvation and all his desire ; his love to the Saviour
was manifest to all, both in his word and actions ; his zeal for the glory of Christ, and the promotiott of
his cause in the world were the objects of his constant prayers and efforts, and his obedience wai
evident by his holy life, and conversation before all men. He was a truly good man, and has left aa
example both in his principles and practice worthy of attention. His spirit, his life, his conduct, were
those of an upright Christian ; he was remarkable for a spirit of kindness, meekness, gentleness, and
amiability ; they were exemplified in the whole deportment. His religion thus present^ more of the
attractive and lovely, and if he did not manifest so much as others the ardent, and enterpriring spirit,
he showed more of ihe mind which is clothed with humility. If he had not the untiring seed which
overcomes all obstacles, he had the spirit of love, and was decked with the ornament of a meek and
quiet spirit. He copied the gentleness of St. John rather than the valour of St. Paul.

He was in a word, a man of God, a living epistle of the truth, known and read of all men ; he adorned
the doctrines of God his Saviour in all things, and he has left behind a reputation not only that ii
blameless, but that is praiseworthy and of good report, but it is to be remembered that it was thi
exemplification of Christian faith.

His character as a minister of the sanctuary will be found the same upright and consdentioiis indi-
vidual, anxious only to fulfil his ministry so as to be the means of *' saving himself and those who heard
him."

The doctrines which he taught were strictly spiritual ; he drew all his instructions from God's blessed
word ; he constantly insisted upon those great and leading truths which that word exhibits, and all ha
instructions were marked by their evangelical character ; whatever the subject on which he dwelt Christ
was all. If he preached repentance it was that which was available through Christ ; if he set fordi
the beauty and excellency of the law, it was to direct men to Chru4t as the only ground of pardon for
having broken it, or of strength to enable them to fulfil it. His labours in the pulpit were marked by
fidelity. He adapted his discourses to the diflferent classes of his hearers ; he kept back nothing as far as
he knew that might be profitable to them who heard him.

His firm attachment to tlie Church was unmixed with any bigotry ; he loved his Master's imag*
wherever it was to be traced ; whilst thoroughly persuaded in his own mind of the rectitude of his own
opinions, he would have trembled to have condemned a fellow Christian who loved the Saviour becaose
he followed not in the same path with himself. In his preparation for the pulpit he was most diligent
and laborious, they have been lucid in their arrangement and forcible in their application, they have also
been attended in their delivery with so much of hallowed and devout feeling, that they conld not hit

leaye the impression that they had been composed with earnest and fenrent prayer to God, as well aa
arduous study.

His sabbath mornings were spent in prayer to God that he would pour out his Holy Spirit upon the
Ministers and congregations, that should that day assemble for worship throughout the world. He rose
earlier on that day than usual, for the purpose of securing more time for this sacred work, and effects of
such devotional spirit have often been evident to the congregation in the subsequent services of the
sanctuary. But it was in his pastoral visits that he was eminently useful, His flock was the object of his
care and compassion, many* of whom will remember his affectionate visits; they will not forget how
desirous he ever was to serve them, to promote their spiritual interests, to sympathize with them in their
troubles, to console them in their sorrows, to advise them in their difficulties and to aid them by all meana
in his power. His affection for the young people of his congregation was very great ; the instructions
which he imparted to them were of the most important nature. How often has he told them that happi-
ness was only to be found in religion, and now he has sealed the truth of his instructions by his own
dying testimony.

Such was the character of this good man and minister ; a faithful labourer in his Master's vineyard.
He was at his labours almost to the last, and the closing scene of his days was attended with peace and
even joy ; it was indeed an end that we might justly covet ; it has also left an impression of the triumph
of Christian principles over death and the ffrave. His end was emphatically peace. The Rev. Mr.
Boyes for several hours had the impression that the sickness would be unto death, yet he neglected no
means which might conduce to his recovery.

To a friend who entered the room and sat by his couch, he said, *' I have nothing to do.'' It is a
somewhat singular coincidence that the above words are the words uttered on a similar occasion by
that eminent saint and devoted servant of God, tRe Rev. David Brown ; he said also on his death-bed
" I have nothing to do now," meaning that his interest in the covenant had been secured before the
arm of death arrested him.

The night before his departure several sentences escaped him worthy to be engraven on the rock ;
he spoke of the precious hours he had spent in the old Church ; of the deeply rooted affection he had
for this house of God and its sacraments and ordinances. * Yes,' he said, * I have loved and enjoyed them,'
and added, ' Thine earthly temples Lord I love' but there is a nobler house above,' he referred to the
beautiful passage ' The eternal God is thy refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms. — Deut. xxxiii.
27. He said ' that is what Moses experienced, and how can I sink when I am so supported.' When hia
beloved and now bereaved wife came to him about five o'clock in the morning before his death, he said
in his most affectionate manner, * I have but one request to ask of my God, that you my dear Mary and
our dear children, and you my friend and our beloved congregation, may be simply the Saviour's.'
Almost his last words before ^e body became too weak for the immortal part to act upon ; as the
medium of its commumcation, were two sentences, one of tender concern for die comfort of his wife on
her voyage home, and another with regard to the grand foundation on which his faith and hope were
built : ' what a precious doctrine,' he said, * is the atonement made by our Lord Jesus Christ ; there is no
other system that can sustain and support a penitent sinner but this can, and does sustain ; I know it
does.'

O never was Jordon's streams crossed in a narrower spot ; it was almost forded ; and never was a
calmer gentler spirit supported across its streams ; it was a scene not only of peace, but of triumph.
His remains were interred in the Mission Burial Ground and his Inscription will be found amongst
chose under that head.

Mr. Horenden was the son of Colonel Hovendcn of Ids Majesty's service. He was bom at WolTer-
hampton in Staffordshire and (it is believed) educated at a school in that county. His father. Colonel
Hovenden, was descended from an ancient English family ; the celebrated Historian, Roger De HoTenden,
who flourished in the reign of Henry the 2nd, was a collateral ancestor. At the early age of 13 Mr.
Hovenden held an Ensign's commission in bis Majesty's service ; about the age of 15 he joined his
Regiment then in Holland, and served under the Duke of York till the troops employed in fh^t ex-
pedition returned to England. After passing through the rank of Lieutenant, he served for about three
years in the Mediterranean as a Captain of Marines, and subsequently embarked with his R^imoit
for Madras, where he soon obtained a majority and also the command of his R^^eat, the 38tb foot,
he being the Senior officer present with the Corps.

Ill health induced Major Hovenden after his return to Europe to dispose of his Commisnon; hia
health becoming re-established, and being of an active mind, be went over to Ireland and resided for
some time, on an estate belonging to the family, where he was put in the Commission of the peace and
acted as a country Magistrate.

His mind taking a religious turn, he directed his views towards the Church, returned to England,
and entered himself at St. Peter's College, Cambridge ; after receiving orders, he officiated as a Curate of
a parish in the vicinity of Birmingham, till he obtained his appointment from the Court of Directors
of Chaplain and Secretary to the Lower, or Government Orphan School, and the same appointment to
the Kidderpore Schools from the Committee of the Military Orphan Society in London.

Mr. Hovenden's career in India, as a Clergyman and a gentleman, and in his official capacitj, mtirt
be fresh in the recollection of most Europeans of any stimding in Calcutta. To the higher classes,
his courteous manners rendered his company highly acceptable ; his kindness and benevolence procured
him the love and esteem of all who had intercourse with him,

Mr. Hovenden received his Diploma of Bachelor of Divinity from the Archbishop of Canterburj.

MRS. BROWN.

This pious and simple-hearted Christian, known to many in India, was taken to her rest in the 67th
year of her age, on Sunday evening the 24th of April 1842. She had been one of the most regular and
constant attendiants in tiieOld Church for at least a quarter of a century. Like Dorcas, she was better
known by the effects of lier faith, '* the good works and alms deeds which she did," than by any
external professions of it. She shewed her lore to the Gospel, by her affection to its faithful ministers,
and to all who love our Lord Jestls Christ in sincerity and truth ; by her attachment to God's house
and ordinances, which she never omitted to attend three times in tlie week, unless prevented by sick-
ness, — by her unostentatious but widely extended benevolence, — ^by a consistent walk and blameless
life. She seemed to answer to St. J^aul's description of a widow indeed that trusted in God and
deserved honor of his Church : — ** One who had been the faithful wife, well-reported of for good
works, having lodged strangers, having washed the saints' feet, having relieved the afflicted, having
diligently followed every good work."

The expression of her hope in Christ and his precious promises, in her last hours, was very diffident
and humble ; but it was on the right foundation, and that, through the grace of her Saviour, she has
entered into Paradise.

In affectionate remembrance of Mrs. Mary Bro^na, widow,
Wow died April 24th, 1842, aged 76.
** An Israelite indeed, in whom was no guile."

MRS. VAUGHAN.

This estimable lady expired at sea on her way to Penang, whither she was going for the benefit of
her health, on the 6th September 1842, and was committed to the deep on the day following. She
rested on the promises of God ; found peculiar consolation in Matt. xi. 28. She was naturally a most
gentle being, and grace refined her character. The Lord led her into the wilderness and there spake
comfortably to her. The last question a Christian friend put to her before she left Calcutta was,
' Do you feel the Lord gracious ?' She replied with animation, * yes, and more and more so every day.'
By her loss the Church has been deprived of one of its members in the midst of her days, and an addi-
tional proof been furnished of the power of Christianity to sustain its possesser while crossing the
valley of the shadow of Death.

This horid act of violence was as amply as deservedly revenged on Suraj-ud-DowIa,
by his Majesty's arms, under the conduct ot Vice Admiral Watson and Colonel Cuve, Anno 1757.

PARTICULARS OF THE ABOVE EVENT.

** At five the Nabob entered the Fort, accompanied by his General, Meer Jaffier, and most of the
principal officers of his Army. He immediately ordered Omichund and Kissendass to be brought
before him, and received them with civility, and having bid some officers to go and take possession of
the Company's treasury, he proceeded to the principal apartment of the factory, where he sat in state
and received the compliments of his Court and attendants in magnificent expressions of his prowess and
good fortune. Soon afteir he sent for Mr. Holwell, to whom he expressed much resentment at the
presumption of the English in daring to defend the Fort, and much dissatisfaction at the smallness

46 THE CRUELTIES OF SURAJ-UD-DOWLAH.

of the sam foand in the Treasury, which did not exceed 50,000 Rupees. Mr. Holwell had two otim'
conferences with him on this subject before seven o'clock, when the Nobab dismissed him, with repemt^
assurances on the word of a soldier that he should suffer no harm.

** Mr. Holwell, returning to his unfortunate companions, found them assembled, and surroiiiMled bj
a strong guard. Several buildings on the North and South sides of the Fort were already in flamei,
which approached with so thick a smoke on either hand, that the prisoners imagined their enemies
had caused this conflagration in order to suffocate them between the two fires. On each side of tibe
Eastern gate of the Fort extended a range of chambers adjoining to the curtain, and before the chamben,
a verandah, or open gallery ; it was of arched masonry and intended to shelter the soldiers from tiie
sun and rain, but, being low, almost totally obstructed the chambers behind from the light and air,
and whilst some of the guard were looking in other parts of the fOiCtory for proper places to confine tlie
prisoners during the night, the rest ordered them to assemble in ranks under the verandah on the right
hand of the gateway, where they remained for some time with so little suspicion of their impendii^
fate, that they laughed among themselves at the seeming oddity of this disposition, and amused them-
selves with conjecturing what they should next be ordered to do. About eight o'clock those who had
been sent to examine the rooms reported that they found none fit for the purpose, on which the prin-
cipal officer commanded the prisoners to go into one of the rooms which stood behind them along
the verandah.

It was the common dungeon of the Garrison, who used to call it the Black Hole.* Manj of the
prisoners knowing the place, began to expostulate, upon which the officer ordered his men to cat down
those who hesitated, on which the prisoners obeyed. But before all were within, the room was so
thronged that the last entered with difficulty, the guard immediately closed and locked the door, con-
fining 146 persons in a room not twenty feet square, with only two small windows, and these obstructed
by the verandah.

It was the hottest season of the year and the night uncommonly sultry even at this season ; the
excessive pressure of their bodies against one another and the intolerable heat which prevailed as sood
as the door was shut, convinced the prisoners that it was impossible to live through the night in this
horrible confinement, and violent attempts were immediately made to force the door, but vnthont efiect,
for it opened inward, on which many began to give a loose to rage. Mr. Holwell, who had placed him-
self at one of the windows, exhorted them to remain composed both in body and mind, as the only
means of surviving the night, and his remonstrances produced a short interval of quiet, daring wfaidi
he applied to an old Jemadar, who bore some marks of humanity in his countenance, promising to
give him a thousand Rupees in the morning if he would separate the prisoners into two chambers ; the
old man went to try, but returning in a few minutes, said it was impossible, when Mr. HolwdH
offered him a larger sum, on which he retired once more and returned with the fatal sentenoe, that no
relief could be expected, -because '* the Nabob was asleep, and no one dared to wake him."

*' In the meantime every minute had inreased their sufferings ; the first effect of their confinement
was a profuse and continued sweat, which soon produced intolerable thirst, succeeded by excmciatuig
pains in the breast, with difficulty of breathing, little short of suffocation. Various means ^ere tried to
obtain more room and air. Every one stripped off his clothes, every hat was put in motion, and
these methods affording no relief it was proposed tliat they should all sit down on their hands at the
same time, and after remaining a little while in this posture rise all together. This fatal expedient was
thrice repeated before they had been confined an hour, and every time several unable to rear them-
selves again fell and were trampled to death by th^ir companious. Attempts were again made to force
the door, which failing as before, redoubled their rage, but the thirst increasing, nothing bat * water t
water!' became soon after the general cry. The good Jemadar immediately ordered some skins of
water to be brought to the windows, but, instead of relief his benevolence became a more dreadfiil
cause of destruction, for the sight of the water threw every one into such excessive agitations and
ravings, that unable to resist this violent impulse of nature, none could wait to be regularly served,
but each with the utmost ferocity battled against those who were likely to get it before him, and in
these conflicts many were either pressed to death by the efforts of others or suffocated by their own.
This scene, instead of producing compassion in the guard without, only excited their mirth, and they
held up lights to the bars in order to have the diabolical satisfaction of viewing the deplorable conten-
tions of the sufferers within, who finding it impossible to get any water whilst it was thus foiiouBly
disputed, at length suffered those who were nearest to the windows to convey it in their hats tp those be-
hind them. It proved no relief either to their thirst or other sufferings, for the fever increased every
moment with the increasing depravity of the air in the dungeon, which had been so often respired, and
was saturated with the hot and deleterious effluvia of putrifying bodies ; of which the stendi was little
less than mortal. Before midnight, all who were alive, and had not partaken of the air at the windows,
were either in a lethargic stupefaction, or raving with delirium. Every kind of invectiye and abuse
was uttered by some, in hopes of provoking the guard to put an end to their miseries, by firing into
^e dungeon ; whilst Heaven was implored by others with wild and incoherent prayers ; ontil the
weaker, exhausted by these agitations, at length laid down quietly, and expired on the bodies of their
dead or agonizing friends. Those who still survived in the inward part of the dungeon, finHing ^»%
the water had afforded them no relief, made efforts to obtain air, by endeavouring to scramble over the
heads of those who stood between them and the windows, whilst the utmost strength of every one was
employed for two hours, either in maintaining his own ground, or in endeavouring to get that of whidi
others were in possession. All regards of compassion and affection were lost, and no one would recedt
or give way for the relief of another. Faintness sometimes gave short pauses of quiet, but the first
motion of any one renewed the struggle through all, under which, ever and anon, some one sank te

rUe no more. At two o'clock not more than fifty remained alive, but even this number was too many
to partake of the saving air, the contest for which, and life, continued until the mom, long implored,
began to break ; and, with the hope of relief, gave a few survivers a view of the dead. The survivors
then at the window finding that their entreaties could not prevail on the guard to open the door, it
occurred to Mr. Cooke, the Secretary of the Council, that Mr. Holwell, if alive, might have more in-
fluence to obtain their relief, and two of the company undertaking the search, discovered him, having
still some signs of life ; but when they brought hun towards the window, every one refused to quit his
place excepting Captain Mills,* who, with rare generosity, offered to resign his, on which the rest
likewise agreed to make room. He had scarcely begun to recover his senses, before an officer sent by
the Nabob came and enquired if the English Chief survived ; and soon after, the same man returned
with an order to open the prison. The dead were so thronged, and the survivors had so little strength
remaining, that they were employed near half an hour in removing the bodies which lay against the
door before they could clear a passage to go out one at a time ; when of one himdred and forty-siz
who went in, no more than twenty-three came out alive. The Nabob's troops beheld them, and the
hovock of death from which they had escaped, with indifference ; but did not prevent them from
removing to a distance, and were immediately obliged by the intolerable stench, to clear the dungeon^
whilst others dug a ditch on the outside of the Fort, into which all the dead bodies were promiscuously
thrown.

** Mr. Holwell unable to stand, was, soon after, carried to the Nabob, who was so far from showing
any compassion for his condition, or remorse for the death of the other prisoners, that he only talked
of the Treasure which the English had buried ; and, threatening him with further injuries if he persisted
in concealing them, ordered him to be kept a prisoner. The officers to whose charge he was delivered
put him into fetters, together with Messrs. Court and Walcot, who were likewise supposed to know
something of the Treasure ; the rest of the survivors, among whom were Messrs. Cooke and Mills,
were told they might go where they pleased ; the dread of remaining any longer within the reach of
such barbarians, determined most of them to remove immediately, as far as their strength enabled them,
from the Fort, and most tended towards the vessels, which were still in sight ; but when they reached
Govindpore, in the southern part of the Company's bounds, they were informed that guards were
stationcKi to prevent any persons from passing to the vessels ; on which most of them took shelter in
deserted huts, where some of the natives, who had served the English in different employments, came
and administered to their immediate wants. Two or three, however, ventured, and got to the vessels
before sunset. Their appearance, and the dreadful tale they had to tell, were the severest of reproaches
to those on board, who intent only on their own preservation, had made no efforts to facilitate the
escape of the rest of the garrison ; never, perhaps, was such an opportunity of performing an heroic
action so ignominiously neglected ; for a single sloop, with fifteen brave men on board, might, in spite
of all the efforts of the enemy, have come up, and, anchoring under the Fort, have carried away all
who suffered in the Dungeon."

On the first of January 1757, Calcutta was retaken by Admiral Watson,t and Colonel Clive, and on
the 20th June, Suraj-ud-doulah was defeated at Plassey, and, the beginning of the following month waa
assassinated by order of the son of his successor, in the 20th year of his age.

_ I, the son of an obscure clergyman, and a man destined alike by nature and by
fortune, to produce no inconsiderable effect on the fate of Asia, as well as of England, was bom in
1733, A. D. The precise spot where he first saw the light, is unknown to the writer of this article ;
but it could not have been at Daylesford House, as has been supposed, this mansion having been sold
full eighteen years before, by one of his progenitors. Certain it is, however, that he passied part of
his infancy in that neighbourhood, and had imbibed such an attachment to the spot, that he never was
happy until he had become the possessor.

llie period that elapsed between his birth and his employment in a public capacity, was so exceed-
ingly short as to afford but few materials for biography. That his parents were not in great affluence
may be readily conjectured, when it is recollected, that the remainder of the family estate had been
recently disposed of ; and yet, on the other hand, his maintenance and education for several years at a
great public school, followed by a respectable appointment in the service of the East India Company,
at the moment he was enabled by law to fulfil its duties, would seem to infer no deficiency either of
substance or connections.

48 RIGHT HON'BLE WARREN HASTINGS, L. L. D. AND P. R. S.

He came out in the Civil Service in 1749» at the age of eighteen, and immediately- began to study
the langnages and the politics of the country with great diligence. In 1757, though then only twenty-
six years of age, he was appointed by Clive Resident at the Durbar at Morshedabad. This was St t£e
time the most important post, next to that of the Governor himself. When Mr. Vansittart sucoeeded
to the chair in Calcutta, Mr. Hastings was the only man in whom he put any confidence. In Decem-
ber 1761, Mr. Hastings came into Council in Calcutta, and alone supported Mr. Vansittart against tha
opposition of the other Members. He was uncorrupted amidst the general depravity. While his
colleagues were making large fortunes by pulling down one Nabob and setting up another, he was ne-
ver suspected of having received any thing. Indeed, when he was going home with his friend Vansit-
tart in 1765, he was so poor that he was obliged to borrow of strangera a small sum of money which his
own agent, Khoja Petroos, had refused to lend him. In 1770, he was sent out as second in Councfl
to Madras, and effected such great reforms as to obtain the highest praise of the Directors. When tha
Governor's post in Calcutta became vacant, they thought they could not give it to a more worthy in-
dividual than to Mr. Hastings, and at the age of forty he became Governor of Bengal. He took his
seat as Governor on the 13th of April 1772, and the very first thing to which his attention was direct-
ed was the revenues of Bengal. The Directors had been thoroughly disgusted with the management of
the land revenues by natives. They found their income gradually decreasing ; and they now determi-
ned, seven years after they had obtained the Dewanny, to ** stand forth as Dewan ;" that is, to take the
management of the revenues into their own hands, and to make the collections through th&r European
servants. This new arrangement was carried into effect by Mr. Hastings, who adopted the most
excellent measures relative to it ; and he at the same time removed the exchequer from Moorshedabsd
to Calcutta, that it might be under the eye of the Governor. These alterations made it necessary also
to alter the management of the Civil and Criminal business of the country. Two Courts were ests-
blished by Mr. Hastings in each district. In the Criminal Court sat the Collector with the Cazee and
Mooftie ; in the Civil Court sat likewise the Collector, assisted by the Dewan and other officers.
Two Courts of appeal were at the same time eatablished by him in Calcutta, the Sudder Dewanny,
for civil, and the Sudder Nizamut Adawlut, for criminal causes. The Choutf or the fourth part of the
amount of every cause brought into Court, which the Judge had hitherto received, was abolished ; hem'
vy fines were forbidden ; and the power which a creditor had of confining his debtor at his own will,
was taken away. All Civil causes under ten Rupees were referred to the head farmer of each Porgnn-
nah. This was the first attempt made by the English in Bengal, to govern it upon their own plan.

The Directors attributed the loss of their revenues in Bengal to the evil practices of Mahomed Rhess
Khan. From the time of his obtaining office, they had regarded him with suspicion. They did not
forget that, when he held the chukla of Dacca under Meer Jaffer Ali, there was a deficiency of many
lakhs of Rupees. He was charged by some with having monopolized grain for his own profit, in. the great
fiBunine of 1770, He was suspected not only of having secreted the public revenue, but of having op-
pressed the people. While he held his post at Moorshedabad, he was the first man in Bengal ; as Naib
Subadar, he had the entire management of the revenue ; as Naib Nazim, he had the entire charge of
the police. The Directors knew, that while he enjoyed such power, no one would come forward to
accuse him. They sent out orders to Mr. Hastings, that he should be put under arrest, and sent down
with all his family to Calcutta ; and that all his papers should be seized. Mr. Hastings had taken his
seat in Council only ten days when these orders reached him late, at night. The following morning,
he wrote to Mr. Middleton, the Resident at Moorshedabad, to send Mahomed Rheza Khan to Calcutta.
He was accordingly brought down to Calcutta to take his trial. The infamous Nundu Komar was set
up to accuse him ; and as there was no villainy with which he was not familiar, it appeared at first, as
if the accused would be found guilty ; after an investigation, however, which lasted two years, he was
declared innocent, but he was not restored to the public service. On his removal from Moorshedabad,
his office in the Nizamut was divided. The care of the Nabob's education to Munnee Begum ; the ex-
penditure of the funds was entrusted by Mr. Hastings to Gooroodas, the son of Nundo Komar. Hie
majority of the Council objected not a little to this appointment, saying diat Gooroodas was very
young, and that to appoint him, was to appoint his father, whom the English never could trust ; but
Mr. Hastings would not yield to their advice, and he subsequently paid dearly for this act of fi&vour to
the family.

The affairs of the Company in England had now come to a crisis. Great as the mismanagement had
been in India during five years, between the departure of Lord Clive in 1767, and the appointment of
Mr. Hastings in 1772, the conduct of the Directors in England had been still worse. Tlie Company
was reduced by its own imprudent measures, to all but insolvent. Wlien the wretched state of the
Company's affairs was made public, Parliament determined to take them in hand, for hitherto it had
never looked into Indian matters. A Committee was appointed to examine into the abuses which had
been committed by the Company's Government. After tlieir report had been given in, the Ministry
perceived that nodiing but a radical change could save the Company from ruin. They brought for-
ward several proposals for reform, in Parliament, which the Directors resisted with all their might ;
but their misconduct had been so plain, and had so disgusted all men, that in spite of all their oppon-
tion. Parliament supported the plans which the Minister proposed. Tlie whole form of the Govern-
ment of India, was now changed both at home, and abroad. Some alteration was made in the manner
of choosing the Directors, by which many evils, which had occurred in England were corrected ; snd
it was ordered, that six Directors should go out of office every year, and six others be chosen in their
room. It was ordered that the Governor of Bengal should be the Governor General of India, and that the
other Presidencies should be subject to him in political matters. As there had been frequent disputes
about power between the Governor and the Members of Council, it was settled, that the Governor
General should l)e the sole Governor and Commander of Fort William. The Governor Grenersl, the
Members of Council, and the Judges were forbidden to trade ; and hence his salary was fixed at two
laklis and half of rupees a year, and that of the Councillors at eighty thousand. It was also ordained thst

THE RIGHT HONORABLE WARREN HASTINGS, L. L. D. AND P. R. S. 49

no ))cr9on in the service of the Company, or of the Crown should receive presents. All the Correspond*
ence from India, which related to the government of the country, the Directors were ordered to lay
before the king's ministers,

Regarding the administration of justice, it was provided that a Supreme Court should be established
in Calcutta, to consist of a Chief Justice at 80 thousand Rs., and 3 Puisne Judges at 60,000 Rs. a
year. The Judges were to be independent of the Company, and to be appointed by the Crown, and
the Court was to administer British law, to British subjects. It viras ordained that this Act, which was
the first passed by Parliament, relative to Indian affairs, should come into operation on the Ist August
1774.

Mr. Hastings had managed the affairs of Bengal, with so much ability, that he was appointed the
first Governor General. But notwithstanding, his talents and his success, great prejudices existed
against him in England, and he was considered by those, who knew nothing of the state of affairs, as
a man of the worst principles. The new Councillors, who were appointed to the Supreme Council, to
act with him, were Mr. Barwell, of the Civil Service, who was in India ; and Colonel Monson, Sir
John Clavering, and Mr. Francis, who had never been in this country. These three gentlemen came
out with their minds, strongly prejudiced against Mr. Hastings, and were disposed to look with an evil
eye, upon all his measures. As soon as he heard of their arrival at Madras, he wrote to them to be-
speak their contidence. The Senior Member of Council, was deputed to meet them on their arrival at
Kedgeree ; and one of die Governor General's own staff was sent down to welcome them. When they
landed in Calcutta, they were received with higher honours, than had been paid to Lord Clive, or Mr.
Vansittart, with a salute of 17 guns ; and all the Members of Council were assembled to receive them ;
but their vanity was not satisfied. They complained to the Court of Directors, that proper honours
had not been paid them ; that the troops were not drawn out to receive them ; that a sufficient salute
had not been fired ; that they were received at Mr. Hasting's house, and not in the Council Chamber ;
and, that the new Government, of which they formed a part, had not been proclaimed with sufficient
pomp.

When the Council met for business, Mr. Hastings placed before his colleagues, who were quite new
to the affairs of India, a view of the state of the Company's affairs in every branch of business. But
in this first meeting, those disputes broke out which distracted the Government of India for nearly
seven years. Mr. Barwell alone sided with tlie Governor General ; the other three members invariably
voted against him upon every question, and as they formed the majority, the Governor General became
a mere cypher ; all power was in reality transferred into their hands. The measures which they
adopted were dictated by their dislike of Mr. Hastings, and partook far more of passion than reason.
Indeed it is a matter of astonishment, that in the six years which elapsed between the operation of this
new plan of Parliament and 1780, the divided Government of India did not go to pieces altogether.

The whole object of these councillers was to hold up Hastings to contempt. They would not listen
to his admonitions or remonstrances, but only to their own passions ; and their conduct throughout
was marked by much ignorance and littleness of mind.

The natives were not slow in remarking the disputes in Council, and to see that Mr. Hastings, who
was lately supreme, had no longer any power. Every man, therefore, who was displeased with any
decision he had passed, went with his complaint to Mr. Francis and his colleagues, and was heartily
received. The Ranee of Burdwan, the widow of Tiluk Chaund, came down at this time to Calcutta
with her son. She was immediately put up to send in a petition, stating that since the Rajah's death
she had disbursed nine bikhs of Rupees in bribes among the English, and their servants, and that of
this sum Mr. Hastings had received 15,000 Rupees. He demanded to see the accounts in Bengalee
and Persian, but she would produce none. Rewards were now held out to all who would accuse Mr.
Hastings, and informers were brought from all parts of Bengal. Accusations came in thick and fast.
One native presented a petition stating that the Fouzdar of Hooghly received a salary of 72,000 Rupees
a' year, of wiiich he paid Mr. Hastings 36,000 Rupees and 4,000 to his dewan. The petitioner offered
to do the duty for 32,000 Rupees a year. Even this stupid charge, which any man who knew the
native character could see through, was received. Evidence was taken ; the majority of the Council
said it was complete ; the Fouzdar was dismissed, and the office, upon the reduced salary, was given,
not to the informer, but to another. In a month, another charge was brought on, Uiat Munnee
Begnm had not accounted for nine lakhs of Rupees. When pressed she said that a lakh and a half of
Rupees had been paid as entertainment money to Mr. Hastings when he went up to install her. Mr.
Hastings said that the sum had been received and expended by him on the public account, and that
the Company had been saved that amount. He also stated that the Nabob of Bengal always received
1,000 Rupees a day for his expenses, whenever he visited Calcutta. Mr. Hastings' explanation was not
satisfactory, but there is no reason to believe that the money was spent on any other than on a public
account.

As it was now seen that any accusation would be received, even the infamous Nundu Koomar
brought up a com]Uaint against Mr. Hastings. He affirmed that the Governor General had received
three lakhs and a half of Rupees for the appointment of Munee Begum, and of his own son Gooroodas,
to tlie Nabob's household at Moorshedabad. Mr. Francis and his party proposed that Nundu
Koomar should be brought forward in the Council to give evidence. Mr. Hastings replied, that he
would not allow this man to come to the Board at which he presided, as his accuser. He said he would
not degrade the office of Governor General in the eyes of all India by such base submission ; but he
offered at the same time to refer the whole question to the Supreme Court ; Mr. Hastings then rose
and quitted the Council, and Mr. Barwell followed him. Mr. Francis and his party, on their departure,
called in Nundu Koomar, who read a letter, which he said had been written to him by Munnee Begum,
rq^ding the bribes she had given. A comparison was made between this letter and one which she
had written .to Government, and which Sir John D'Oyly produced. The seals agreed, but the hand-
writing was not the same. After Nundu Koomar 'a death; the secret of this villainy was revealed, in

50 THE RIGHT HONORABLE WARREN HASTINGS, L. L. D. AND F. R. 8,

hU poflneiision were found fac simtlt^ of the sealA of all the great personages in Bengal, lliere em be
little doubt that the letter was a forgery, and that the seal was affixed to it by Nundu Koomar, mod not
by Munnee Begum. Tlie Council, however, voted that Nundu Koomar*s charge was true, and ordered
that Mr. Hastings should refund the money, which he of course reftised to do. While this aiUr was
pending, Mr. Hastings brouglit an action for conspiracy against Nundu Koomar in the Sapreme Govt }
and the three members of Council to show their dislike of the Governor General, went In a body to visit
that native ; a step which had never yet been taken in India. It was in tiiis manner thsit Mr. Frands
and his party continued for several years to thwart Mr. Hastings and to embarrass the Goremiiieat oC
the country.

A few days after Mr. Hastings* charge against Nundu Koomar, a natire of the name of Komal-ood-
deen, brought an action against him in the Supreme Court, for having forged his name to a deed.
Nundu Koomar was found guilty, and hung in the month of July 1775. The natires were thunder-
struck when they saw one of the greate:(t men in India, and a Brahman, hung in the city of Calcutta.
It was the first time in which a native of rank had ever been executed by the English. It is said diat
more than a hundred thousand of his countrymen surrounded the scaffold. To the last they belieired
that there was no intention of putting him to death ; but when they saw him actually executed, they ran
down with one accord to tlie river, to wash out the pollution. Tlie death of Nundu Koomar has been
charged upon Mr. Hastings, because it was Wlieved that he supported the prosecution. Bnt the ha.
Ls, that it was the act of the Supreme Court, and this was one among the complaints whic^ were made
against that tribunal Bome years after. There can be no doubt that Nundu Koomar was one of the
most infamous characters among the natives. The Governors of Bengal had, one after the other.
declared him to be unworthy of trust. He had been discoverd in a treasonable correspondence with
the enemies of the English, and since the battle of Plassey had been constantly intriguing with e^ery
party ; still he died unjustly. The crime for which he was condemned in the Supreme Court had been
committed four years before the Court existed, when he could not have been subject to its jurisdictioa.
The crime, moreover, was not capital by the Hindoo law. He was put to death, therefore, contrary
to reason or equity. But he died enormously rich. In the various posts which he had filled, he had
amassed a fortune of more than a crore of Rujiees.

In September 1776 Col. Monson died, and as there remained but two members of his party, Mr.
Hastings regained his power in the Council, because he had the casting vote.

Wlien in 1772, the business of the country was transferred to European officers, Mr. Hastings
thought it necessary that they should be made acquainted with the native laws. Under his patronage
Mr. Halhed prepared, from native works, a code of Hindoo and Mahomedan laws, which was printed
in 1775. Mr. Halhed was a gentleman of eminent talents ; he had come out in the Civil Serrioe about
the year 1770, and applied himseif to the study of the native language. He made such progreasiB
them as no European had ever made before. He may be regarded as the first Engliahtnan who
obtained a classical knowledge of this language. This gentleman also published a grammar of it, tlie
first which had ever appeared. It was print^ at Hoogly with a font of Bengalee types cut and cast
by Mr. Charles Wilkins, and the first which had ever been seen.

The disputes between the Supreme Court and the Government occasioned great misery to the conn tr y
for several years. This Court was established in 1774, and made indejiendant on the Company's
Goremment. The Judges came out with very strong notions of the oppressions to whi<^ the people
were subject, and with the idea that the Supreme Court was the best remedy for those grievances.
When the Judges landed at Chandpaul Ghaut, and saw the natives with their legs bare, one of tlwm»
sud to the other, " see, brotlier, the oppressions to which the people have been subject. The Supreme
Court was not established before it was needed. I hope our Court will not have been six months in
existence, before these poor wretches will be comfortably provided with shoes and stockings." The
Supreme Court was no sooner set up, than it began to enlarge its jurisdiction. It was the fault of
Parliament that the powers of the Court were not better defined. Parliament had created two indepen-
dent and rival powers in the country, and they soon came into collision with each other. Tlie Court,
in a variety of ways, disturbed the peaceful government of the country and was the cause of much con-
fusion during Mr. Hastings' administration. On account of the oppression of this Court petitions were
presented to Parliament by the British inhabitants of Calcutta, and by the Grovemor General in Council,
praying for relief. The subject was fully discussed, and a new act was passed which took away fH«t
jurisdiction over the whole country which the Ct)urt had been so anxious to obtain.

Before this act was passed, Mr. Hastings devised means for quieting the Supreme Court, by putting
a sop in the mouth of the judges. He moide the Cliief Justice, Sir Elijah Impey, the Chief Judge of
the Sudder Dewanny Adawlut, with an additional salary of 5000 Rs. a month, and 600 Rs. for die
rent of an office ; one of the Puisne Judges was also enriched at the same time by a new office at Chin-
surah, which owing to a war with the Dutch, had fallen into the hands of the English. About this
time Mr. Hastings made a great im()rovement in the country Courts. He erected Civil or Dewanny
Courts in various Zillahs, to hear Civil suits, and ordered the Provincial Courts to confine themselves
to revenue affairs. Sir Elijah Impey, also having taken his scat in the Sudder Dewanny Court, drew
up certain regulations for the guidance of the Civil Courts throughout the country. These were
afterwards increased to ninety, and became the basis of the Civil Code of Lord Comwallis.

During the Government of Mr. Hastings, on the 29th January 1780, the first newspaper ever pub-
lished in India, made its appearance in Calcutta.

Towards the close of Mr. Hastings' administration, he was employed chiefly out of Bengal, in mana-
ging the affairs of Benares and Oude, in a war vrith Hyder Ally, the llajah of Mysore, and in negotia-
tions all over India. His conduct in the Western Provinces was greatly censured in England, both by
the Directors and in Parliament. It was even proposed in the House of Commons, that he should be
recalled for having acted against the honour and interests of England ; but the vote did not pass, and
he remained at his post. After having made another tour to Oude, at the close of 17S4, he returned to

THE RIGHT HONORABLE WARREN HASTINGS, L. L. D. AND F. R. S. 51

Calcutta, early in 1785, made over the keys of the Treasury and of Fort William to his successor, Mr.
Macpherson, and embarked for England, where he jirrived in June.

During Mr. Hastings' Government, in 1784, was founded the Asiatic Society of Calcutta, by Sir
William Jones, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court, and who, as a scholor, had acquired great dis-
tinction in his native land. The object of this Society was to inquire into the habits, the language, and
institutions of ancient India. A number of individuals, who were fond of the same pursuits, joined
him in this undertaking ; and their researches gave the first idea on these subjects to the European
world. Mr. Hastings gave the Society the warmest encouragement, and became its first President.

Mr. Hastings had no sooner landed in England, than the Directors, by a public vote, declared their
approbation of his conduct. He was not without blame, in many of his proceedings in India ; but it
must be confessed, that he acted with the utmost skill and vigour, and that it was he who consolidated
the empire which Clive had conquered. Much of the censure which was cast on him, was due to the
misconduct of the natives who were employed by him. Gunga Govuid Singh, Canto Baboo, and
Devy Singh, were the three men who had the largest power, and made the largest fortunes during his
reign. Of these, Devy Singh was, perhaps, the most unprincipled. As one of the farmers of revenue,
he acquired a large fortune by oppressing tiie poor ryots. The unheard of cruelties wliich this infa-
mous wretch practised, more especially at Dinagepore, can never be read without a feeling of horror. Of
all this, Mr. Hastings was obliged to bear the blame in England ; but in India, the natives knew well
how to distinguish between the orders of the master, and the villainy of the servant. During the first
six years of his Grovemo^ent, he was thwarted by the Members of Council, who did every thing in
their power to annoy and insult him. At the same time his authority was nearly subverted by the
Supreme Court. But he nobly declared, that he would not quit his post, because it was difficult ;
and he had a spirit and an energy which no troubles could subdue. During the latter part of his Go-
Temment, he was engaged in a war with Hyder Ali, which eat up the revenues of the country. He
was too often in great straits for money, and was sometimes obliged to adopt extraordinary means to
obtain it. But on the whole he was a very great man ; he is held in the highest veneration by the
natives ; and they teach their children to this day, to pronounce the name of Warren Hastings with
affection.

But however, great animosity continued to prevul against Mr. Hastings in England ; and at length,
on the 13th February, 1788, he was impeached by the House of Commons, at the bar of the House of
Lords, of high crimes and misdemeanors. The trial was conducted with unusual pomp. The royal
family, the peers, and the peeresses were present ; and the ablest men in England appeared before this
august assembly as his accusers. His conduct was sifted, as the conduct of no political character was
ever sifted before. The trial was spun out by various delays to seven years, and, at length, on the 23rd
April, 1 795 the Lords, with a very few exceptions, acquitted him of all the charges which had been
brought against him.

The law expenses during the impeachment bore heavy on Mr. Hastings, and although an idea had
gone forth of his immense wealth, and his name and that of his wife, were never mentioned without
being associated with crores of Rupees, necklaces of diamonds, &c. &c., after paying his various debts in
1786, the sum total of his fortuue amounted to no more than 65,313i:f. 138. 6d.

On this his friends proposed to reimburse the Grovemor General, out of the revenues of the Com-
pany, on account of the legal expenses incurred by him in making his defence ; as the case was found-
ed on the public acts of his Government in Bengal. An annuity of 5000.£^. was also voted, and the
whole proposition was submitted to the Board of Commissioners for the affairs of India, by the Direc-
tors, for their approval and confirmation, pursuant to the act of Parliament. But some legal difficul-
ties intervening, the original vote was never completed ; and it was not until March 2d, 1796, that the
then chairman. Sir Stephen Lushington, informed a General Court, ** that a vote for annuity of 4000j^.
per annum, for 28 years and a half, had been passed by the Court of Directors, and confirmed by the
Board of Control, and that the law expenses should also be cleared, although the precise mode had
not yet been settled.

From this moment Mr. Hastings seems to have courted obscurity. His lady, indeed, went to
Court ; and was received with distinguished respect by Her Majesty, but Mr. Hastings received no
mark of royal favour until the death of Mr. Burke and Mr. Fox, and most of those who had managed
the prosecution against him ; it was not until then that the rank and distinction of a privy counsel-
lor was bestowed on him.

The remainder of his life was spent at Daylesford, the scene of his boyish days, in adorning his
grounds, and improving his estate. And he lived here among pleasing thoughts and delightful asso-
ciations. He lived long enough to behold many of his plans laid for the aggrandizement of British
India realized, through the agency of others : for the brilliant acquisition of the Marquises of Wellesly
and Hastings, are to be considered but as the early projects of a man whose gigantic ambition had
grasped at the subjugation of all Asia. At length, having attained his 75th year, he died August 22nd,
1818. In private life, M^. Hastings lias always been represented as amiable, conciliating, and seduc-
tive. As a public servant he achieved much for the permanent benefit and advantage of his employers :
and it must be allowed, that he rendered the English name and exploits known to the most distant re-
gions of India.

In token of grateful testimony of the benefits he conferred upon India, his statue is placed at the
Town Hall; with the following Inscription : —

To the Right Honorable Warren Hastinfi^s*

62 SIR EYRE COOTE, K. B.— PRINCE HYDER ALLY.

SIR EYRE COOTE, K. B., (Lieutenant General in the Army, and Comnumder-im-Ckirf of tht

British Foreet in India.)

Sir Syre Coote embarked last for India, in 1778. Exclumve of the most brilliant actions per-
formed by him in the year 1760-1, his country naturally resorted to their deplorable, and e^erj tlung,
but finally lost situation, on the coast of Coromandel, in the year 1780, when Sir Eyre Coote pushed
through the North East Monsoon from Bengal, with only COO European troops, to the relief of
Madras, rescuing this desponding, falling. Presidency, and effecting, by his presence and exertions, i
fortunate change and extrication, from the seemingly impossible difficulties and dangers then snnxnmd-
ing our invaluable Eastern possessions.

Compare but the adverse circumstances attending the dL«aatrou8 era of September, 1 780, with the
two ensuing successful campaigns of 1781, and up to September, 1782, when Sir Eyre Coote waf
necessitated, by a severe fatal indisposition, to quit the Coromandel field ; and the recollectioo of
facts alone, which prevailed at the periods alluded to, decide the high obligation Britain is under to him.

The world in general feel not the real intrinsic worth of illustrious characters, or valuable posses-
sions, till they are no more, or till we are in danger of losing them. Modem Eastern anecdotes and
history most pointedly exemplify the truth of this afisertion. Now the value of our Eastern iKMseaaons
begin to be, by degrees, partially understood ; it will be remembered by the British empire* that the
superior abilities, personal successful exertions, zeal of service, established and acknowledged militaiy
character of the late Sir Eyre Coote, in the hour of peril and extreme danger to the state, <jiecked
the rapid torrent of invasion, restored firmness, love of enterprise to our army, and unifonnly led to
victory. A very limitted number of infantry alone under his own immediate command, though opposed
to the most fonnidable and numerous enemies ever encountered by us in Asia ; and that at the Gene-
ral's decease, the British Military character in India, was happily recovered to his country, respected
and dreaded by their enemies.

Sir Eyre Coote died at Madras, and his remains were enterred under the Gallery of St. Mary*s
Church, Fort St. George, with every mark of honor and respect,

A whole length Portrait of this gallant General, is placed in the hall of the Madras Exchange.

The monument to the memory of Sir Eyre Coote, erected by the E^t India Company, in testimony
of their esteem for the character of this gallant Officer, is placed in Westminster Abbey.

The work is at once an honour to great military merit, and to the ingenious artist, Banks, whost
talents have so ably recorded it.

The monument consists of two figures as large as life ; one is a Mahratta or Hindoo captive,
weeping by the side of a trophy of Persian armour, representing a province subdued ; he is holding an
inverted cornucopia, the contents of which are falling into the shield of Britannia.

Tlie other figure is Victory, who, having erected the trophy, is decorating it with the portrait of Sir
Eyre Coote, which she is hanging on a psJm tree tliat rises behind the armour.

On the sarcophagus is an elephant, to mark the scene of action.

The whole is intended to represent a province of the East, preserved to his country by the victories
of the heroic Coote. It is placed near the entrance of the North door, and is twelve feet wide, and
twenty-six high.

On the Sarcophagus is the following Inscription,

This Monument is erected by
The East India Company as a Memorial of the Military Talents
of Lieutenant General Sir Ejrre Coote, K. B.
Commander-in-Chief of the British Forces m India,
who by the success of his arms in the year 1760 and 1761,
Expelled the French from the Coast of Coromandel. In 1781 and 1782
He again took the field in the Carnatic,
In opposition to the united strength of the French and Hyder Ally ;
I'he numerous forces of the latter he defeated in several engagements.
But Death interruj)ted his career of glory,
on the 12th of February, 1783, in the fifty-eighth year of his age.

Anecdotes op Sir Eyre Coote.

It is a fact well known that the Sir Eyre Coote exposed himself too frequently during the wan
in the Carnatic, both to the fire of the enemy and the heat of the sun.

The General and his Staff were standing in a group one morning, when Hyder pointed a gim at
them. The ball struck tlie ground near Coote; '• you had better move. Sir," said an officer ; «* yon
are observed." ** Never mind," replied the General, *• they could not do that again."

Another time one of his aid-de-camps observed that he had endangered his health and the ftite of
the army by exposing himself too much to the sun. ''Tut, tut," exclaimed the veteran, ** the son
has no more effect on me tlian on a deal board." "Aye, but Sir," rejoined the aid-de-camp, '* you
should recollect that it is not the first old board that the sun has split !"

PRINCE HYDER ALLY.

Prince Hsrder Ally was the son of a person who served in quality of Killadar or gOTemor of t
small fortress to one of the kings of Mysore ; also father of the formidable Tippoo Sultan. He is said to
have acquired the rudiments of war in the French camps ; and, in the year 1753, he distinguished
himself as their auxiliary, in the plains of Trichinopoly. About ten years after, being then at £e head
of the Mysore Army, he dethroned his sovereign, and governed the kingdom under the title of regent.
Soon after he extended his dominions on every side, tlie Carnatic excepted, until at last he was at the
head of a state, equal in extent to Great Britain, and producing a gross revenue of four millions sterling.
In 1767, 1768, and 1769, he was engaged in a war with the English. In thi^ war he displayed great

VIZIER ALLY. 53

spirit and ability, for making a sudden irruption in the Camatic, with an army consisting principally
of cavalry, he came within seven miles of Madras, and dictated a peace to the Government of that
place. But in 1771 Hyder sustained a total defeat from the Marliattah army, within a few miles of
his capital, into which he escaped with great difficulty, with a small remnant of his army, and
afterwards defied the attacks of lus numerous enemies, who possessed neither the skill nor the ordinary
requisites for a siege. He waited in patience, till the enemy by desolating the country, were compelled
to leave it. A few years of peace not only restored matters to their former state, but improved both
his revenues and arms to a degree beyond probability : and at the same time, the distractions that
prevailed among the Marhattahs, enabled him to extend his territories at their expense. In 1780,
during the late war with France, Hyder Ally made a second irruption into the Camatic at the head of
100,000 troops, both horse and foot, the very best of their kind that had ever been disciplined by a
native of India. His success in cutting to pieces Colonel Baillie's detachment, and the consequent
retreat of the Camatic army, occasioned the British interests in that quarter, to be given up for lost,
in the opinion of most people in Europe. Happily, however, Mr. Ha^stiags, then Governor General of
Bengal, and the late Sir Eyre Coote, Commander-in-Chief of the Forces in India, thought otherwise.
This excellent officer soon put a stop to the victorious progress of Hyder Ally. With a force scarcely
exceeding 7000 men, he compelled that indefatigable warrior to raise the siege of several fortresses,
and on the Ist of July 1781, he gained a complete victory over his vast army, consisting of 150,000
men. Hyder sustained successively six more defeats. That of the 7th of June 1782, was the last in
which these two great Commanders were destined to meet each other ; nor was either of them present,
afterwards, at any action of importance. Each died a natural death, within five months of the other :
Hyder, toward the end of 1782, and Coote, in February 1783.

VIZIER ALLY, EX-NABOB OF OUDE.

The vicissitudes of fortune were never more strikingly displayed than in the life and adventures
of this singular man, who spent half his short existence in an iron cage.

Vlsier Ally, bom in 1781, was the adopted son of Asuf-ud-Dowlah, late Nabob of Oude. His
mother was the wife of a Forash (a menial servant of low description, employed in India in keeping
the metallic furniture of a house clean.) His reputed father, Asuf-ud-Dowlah, was a wealthy and
eccentric Prince. Having succeeded to the musnud (throne) of Oude, by the assistance of the East
India Company, he professed great partiality to the English. ** Mild in manners, polite and affable
in his conduct ; he possessed no great mental powers ; his heart was good, considering his education,
which instilled the most despotic ideas. He was fond of lavishing his treasures on gardens, palaces,
horses, elephants, European guns, lustres and mirrors. He expended every year alx)ut 200,000/. in
English manufactures. This Nabob had more than an hundred gardens, 20 palaces, 1200 elephants,
3000 fine saddle-horses, 1500 double-barrel guns, 1700 superb lustres, 30,000 shades of various forms
and colours ; several hundred large mirrors, girandoles, and clocks ; some of the latter were very
curious, richly set with jewels, having figures in continual movement, and playing tunes every hour ;
two of these clocks cost him 30,000/. Witliout taste or judgment, he was extremely solicitous to
possess all that was elegant and rare ; he had instruments and machines of every art and science, but

54 SIR JOHN SHORE (LORD TEIGNMOUTH.)

be knew none ; and his museum was so ridiculously disposed, that a wooden cuckoo clock was placed
close to a superb time-piece which cost the price of a diadem ; while a valuable landscape of Claode
Lorraine was suspended near a board painted with ducks and drakes. He sometimes gSTe a dimier to
ten or twelve {lersons, sitting at their ease in a carriage drawn by elephants. His haram oontaxned
above 500 of the greatest beauties of India, immured within high walls, which they were never to leave
except on their biers. He had an immense number of domestic servants, and a verj lai^ anny,
besides being fully protected from hostile invasion by the Company's subsidiary forces, for which he
paid 500,000/. per annum. His jewels amounted to about eight millions sterling. Amidst this
precious treasure, he might be seen for several hours every day, handling them as a child does his toys."

Asuf had no legitimate children, and it was doubted whether he had any natural ones. He was m
the habit, whenever he saw a pregnant woman, whose appearance struck his fancy, to invite her to the
palace to lie-in ; and several women of this description were delivered there, and among^ the number
was the mother of Vizier Ally. Several children, so delivered, were brought up and educated in the
palace.

The sprightliness of Vizier Ally, while yet an infant, so entirely engrossed the aiTectiona of the old
Nabob, that he determined to adopt him. In conformity with this resolution, the youth received an
education suitable to a Prince who was destined to succeed to the musnud. He is said, however, to
have developed at this period a propensity to delight in the suffering of the brute creation. The aiSK-
tion of the old Nabob towards his adopted son still increasing, he lavished upon him every mark of
regard.

At the age of thirteen his marriage took place. To give an idea of the splendour which attached to
his youth, and from which he subsequently fell, it would be only necessary to read the accoimt of hii
nuptials as inserted in Forbes' Oriental Memoirs.*

When Vizier Ally was recognized by Asuf as his successor to the throne, great opposition was mani-
fested by the old Nabob's family. He was, however, on the death of the latter, upheld by the English
Government, and placed on the musnud. An adopted child, by the Mahomedan Law, is entitled to all
the privileges of legitimate birth.

Vizier Ally, after being elevated to the throne, showed a turbulent, restless, and intriguing temper,
and broke his fedth with the English Government ; the consequence of which was, his bein^ deposed
from the musnud, and Sadut Ally, the brother of the late Nabob, placed on it ; a pension was assigned
to Vizier Ally of two lacks of Rupees per annum, (about 25,000/.) but it was considered necessary that
he should reside near the Presidency, that he might be the more under the eye of Government. He
in consequence proceeded from Lucknow to Benares, where Mr. Cherry, the Company's Reindent,
had been sent to make arrangements for his proceeding to the Presidency. Shortly after his arrival
at Benares, Mr. Cherry invited him to breakfast. He came attended by a large armed retinue. It had
been previously intimated to Mr. Cherry that his appearance was hostile, and that he ought to be on
his guard ; but he disregarded the caution. Vizier Ally complained much of the Company's treat-
ment of him ; and, in fine, at a signal made by him, several of his attendants rushed in and cut Mr.
Cherry and his assistant, Mr. Graham, to pieces. They then went away with the intention of pro-
ceeding to the house of Mr. Davis, another European gentleman, holding a high situation under
Crovemment, with the view of massacreing him also ; but fortunately he received some intimation of
his danger before they arrived, and got his family to the top of the house, and posted himself at the
summit of a narrow circular stone staircase. Here the ruffians pursued him, but with a hog-spear he
defended himself for a considerable length of time, killing several of his assailants, which in a manner,
blocked up the passage, till at length he was rescued by a party of the Company's troops stationed at
Benares, which came to his assistance. The followers of Vizier Ally killed another European private
gentleman, residing at Benares, exclusive of the two public officers above mentioned.

Vizier Ally made his escape into the territory of the Rajah of Berar, a powerful and independent
Chief, who refused to deliver him up unless under a promise of his life being spared. Hiis the English
Government considered it expedient to accede to ; and he was accordingly given up and broug^ht down
to Calcutta, and confined in the garrison of Fort William, in a kind of iron cage, where after an impri-
sonment of seventeen years, three months, and four days, he died in May 1817, at the age of 36, and
his remains were interred in the Mussulman Burial Ground at Casia Baguan.

SIR JOHN SHORE,— (LORD TEIGNMOUTH,)— r/fl/« Governor General of India J

There are few lives passed in the laborious and honourable duties of the East India Company's
service in India more deserving of commemoration than that of Lord Teignmouth. The executrre
administrations of India, amidst the records of the Bengal Grovemment, for a long and eventful series
of years, have before them ample testimonies of his public services ; the few surviving firiends, who
lived in familiar intercourse with him, will attest his private and social virtues.

Mr. Shore was of a Derbyshire family originally, but his father resided many years at Melton in
Suffolk, and died in 1759, ten years before his son obtained his appointment in the Civil Service of
Bengal. On his arrival at Calcutta in 1769, the young Civilian was stationed at Moorshedabad, as an
assistant under the Council of Revenue ; and, in 1772, served as an assistant to the Resident of Rijeshaye.
He devoted himself with considerable assiduity to the Persian language, and obtained, by means of his
proficiency in it, the office of Persian Translator and Secretary to the Provincial Council c^ Moorsheds-
bad. In 1774, he sat as a member of the Calcutta Revenue Board, till its dissolution in 1781, when
he was appointed second of the General Committee of Revenue. In 1785, he was reconmiended by

* It is not uncommon for a Calcutta Baboo to lavish a lack of Rupees upon the marriage festival of his
son. It is his ambition to surpajts in prodigahty both his contemporaries and predecessors. The nuptials of
Vizier Ally at Lucknow in 1795 cost 25 Lacks oi Rupees, or about 300,000£. The funeral of tliis mao co^
only a few Rupees ! Such are the vicissitudes of human hie.

SIR JOHN SHORE (LORD TEIGNMOUTH.) 55

Mr. Hastings, who he accompanied to England, to a seat in the Supreme Council, as a public servant
of distinguished talents and integrity.

But the most prominent feature of Mr. Shore's early life in India, was his participation in the
financial and judicial reforms of Lord Comwallis.

After the long experience the Court of Directors had had of the judgment and integrity of Mr. Shore,
it is not at all strange that they should have chosen him for the immediate successor of Lord Comwallis
as Governor General of India, which he assumed on the 28th October 1 793. Eiconomical promises
were made at home, and who so able to execute them as the man who had wound himself into all the
intricacies of Indian finance, and whose policy in relation to the native powers was decidedly pacific ?
Upon this occasion, Mr. Shore was created a baronet of England, with die title of Sir John Shore of
Heachcote. Four years afterwards he was raised by patent to an Irish Peerage, with the title of
Baron Teignmouth.

On the first accession to the chair of Government, Sir John Shore had to steer between no ordinary
perplexities. The Mahrattas were jealous of the growing power of the English, and thirsted for the
spoils of the feeble Nizam, who existed only beneath the slutde of British protection. Scindia, now at
the head of the Mahratta councils, looked to the power of THppoo as the best counterpoise to that of
the English. If any thing can be fairly objected to the policy of Sir John Shore, it is, that he relied
on the good faith of the Mahrattas to act according to existing treaties, which it was their interest to
set at nought, and left his ally, the Nizam, in a state almost unprotected and defenceless. The first
pretext of Scindia was the demand of the arrears of the Mahratta Chout (tribute) from the pusillanimous
Nizam.

About this period Scindia died. His nephew and successor inherited his policy. War between the
Nizam and the Mahrattas was inevitable. In March 1795, a general action took place. Tlie Nizam
was cooped up in a secluded fort, and being reduced to famine, was compeUed to conclude a peace on
the most abject terms. Tippoo, in the meanwhile, remained steadfast to his fiither's antipathies to the
British name ; at the same time, the affairs of the Nabob of Oude, who largely enjoyed the benefits of
English protection, became so involved as to threaten the whole of that fine province with ruin and
depopulation. He refused to pay his contingent for the Cavalry supplied him by the British Government^
To induce the Vizier, to introduce some necessary reforms into his administration, and to obtain security
for the expenses disbursed in maintaining the power of the Nabob, the Govemor-Greneral undertook a
journey to Lucknow. The result of the mission was, the acquiescence of the Vizier in the additional
subsidy of two regiments of Cavalry, British and native. Upon the dimise of the Nabob, shortly after,
a question arose as to the legitimacy of Asoph ul Dowlah, his son. The question of a kingdom was
decided against him by the British Government, upon evidence, observes Mr. Mill, on which a Court
of law in England should not have decided a question of a few pounds. By this decision, Asoph ul
Dowlah was deposed, and Saadut Ali raised to the musnud, as the eldest surviving son of Sigah ul
Dowlah. It is an intricate question of law and of policy, and the limits of this article preclude us from
entering into it. But even Mr. Mill acknowledges that it is impossible to read the Governor Greneral's
Minute, recording the transaction, and not to be impressed with a conviction of his sincerity. And the
Court of Directors, in their letter of the 5th of May 1799, after a long commentary, observe : *' Having
taken this general view, with a minute attention to the papers and proceedings before us, we are
decidedly of opinion that the late Governor General, Lord Teignmouth, in a most arduous situation,
and under circumstances of embarrassment and difficulty, conducted himself with great temper, impar-
tiality, ability, and firmness ; and that he finished a long career of faithful services, by planning and
carrying into effect an arrangement, which not only redounds highly to his own honour, but which will
also operate to the reciprocal advantage of the Company and the Nabob."

In January 1 798, Sir John Shore, who a few months before his retirement, was raised, as we have
seen, to the Peerage, returned to England, having been succeeded by Lord Momington.

Lord Teignmouth lived in habits of familiar intercourse with Sir William Jones at Calcutta, and
succeeded him as President of the Asiatic Society. In that Capacity, he delivered, on the 22d May 1791,
a warm and elegant eulogy of his predecessor, and in .1804 published memoirs of his life, writings and
correspondence.

On the 4th April 1807, Lord Teignmouth was appointed a Commissioner for the affairs of India, and
was sworn one of the Privy Council a few days afterwards. His activity and zeal in the formation of the
Bible Society, in 1804, are prominent features of his life, and strong indications of his sincere convictions
and warmth of piety as a Christian believer. He had the honour of being fixed upon as the fittest
person to preside over that Institution, and of which he was the President for 30 years. Up to the
latest moments of life his heart beat high with philanthropic feeling. His oriental acquirements were
consecrated to the service of the Bible Society.

Lord Teignmouth presided over the Society in a catholic and amiable spirit of good will and
benevolence towards all sects and communities of Christians. He conducted it throng many difficul-
ties and controversies, some of which were unusually stormy and contentious.

We must not forget to observe, that Lord Teignmouth was earnestly bent on converting the natives
of India to Christianity, and in 1811, he published a tract on that subject, entitled, " Considerations on
communicating to the inhabitants of India the knowledge of Christianity.''

Lord Teignmouth died at the advanced age of eighty-two, 14th February 1834. His widow did not
long survive him. He lived surrounded by every tiling that ministers comfort to life ; the attachment
of a large circle of friends, and the affections of an amiable feimily ; and his death was rendered cheerful
and easy by the consolations of religion. Pew men have been more eminently useful in their destined
spheres of action ; few have more amply merited the honours bestowed on them, or bettor vindicated
their rightful claim to elevated rank by their talent and integrity, than Lord Teignmouth. We might
enlarge upon his personal and private virtues, but we restrain ourselves, in the language of Tacitus ;
** Abstineniiam ei integritatem htyu9ce viri ritferre^ injuria fuerit virtutumj*

SIR W. n. MACNAGIITEN. BARONET.

IVilliam Hay Macnaf^bteiiy the second son of Sir Francis MacnA8:Iitcn, for many yean one of the

Juili;es of the Supreme Court in (Jah'uttu, was bom in the month of Au^ist 1793. He came to Indii
at the ag(^ of ^ixteen, in September 1S(H^ a.s a Cavalry Cadet on the Madraii Establishment. Shortly after
his arrival, he was ap]>ointed to do duty with the Body Guard of the Governor of Madras, in whofe
family be continued to reside for some months. From the earliest period of his Indian career, hb mind
was e^^erly bent on the pursuit of oriental literature, and he devoted the leisure of his easy appointmoit
to the study of Ilindostanee and Persian. In May 1811, he obtained tlie prize of 500 pagodaa, whkk
MM held out to tlie junior officers of the army as an encouragement to the study of Hindoatanee.
Inhere was no rewanl ap)>()inted at tliat time for the succejwful study of Persian ; but with the Tiew of
establishing his tpialitications for em])loyment in the Political department, to which his aapirations wen
directed, he passed a satisfactory examination in that lan^ajs^. Soon after, he was ap|x>inted to a
Cornetcy in the Itli Cavalry, then stationed at Hydrabad ; he remained with this corps for nearly a year,
during which time he was invited to join the Resident, Mr. Henry Russell, in his visits to the Niam
and his Mhiisters ; and thus obtained an early o]>portimity of becoming acquainted with the policy and
feelings of Native Courts. Being desirous of acquiring some knowledge of mathematics, he wis
permitted to join the Institution founded by Lord William Bentinck, for imparting instmction in tfait
department of science, and made considerable progress in it. Six months after he had entered on this
study, he proceeded on survey duty, and returned to Madras on its completion, and contiaoed hii
studies in the Institution for six months longer. During this period, Government offered a prize of
600 pagoda.s for eminent proficiency in Persian, and he passed a sectmd examination in it, and secured
tlie reward. About the middle of 1813, he joined the escort of the Honourable Mr. Cole, the Residait
of Mysore. He had already made some progress in a knowledge of the Tamul and Teloogoo langnafpes,
and he now embraced the opportunity of his residence in Mysore to add to them an acquaintance with
the Canaries and Maliratta tongues. Shortly after liLs arrival at the Residency, he was employed by
Mr. Cole in the capai'ity of a Political a.ssistant, though not formally recognized as such hy Govem-
nient ; but he was now to quit the Madras Presidency, and enter u()on another sphere of employmenL

About the middle of 181-1, he received an appointment to the Bengal Civil Sen'ice. He arrived in CaU
rutta with the most flattering testimonials from the Governor of Madras and from Mr. Cole. The Chief
secretary at that Presidency was instructed to " notify the a]>pointment to the Governor of Bengal, and
at th(; same time t4) enclose the honourable testimonies of the proficiency of Mr. Macnaghten in die
Ilindostanee and Persian languages, and also to forward letters of a similar tendency from the Residpnt
at Mysore, under whom Mr. Macnaghten had been employed." Mr. Cole's letter, coming as it did
from one who was so well qualified to judge of merit, and who had enjoyed the best opportunities of
estimating Mr. Macnaghten's attainments, must have been ))eculiarly gratifying to him.

He arrived in Calcutta in October 1814, and entered upon the study of Oriental literatore with a
flegree of ardour, which has seldom, if ever been surpassed. It is scarcely necessary to say that with
the knowle<lge he brought with him, and his habits of intense application, he soon became one of the
most distinguished students in the College of Fort William. It would be tedious to detail the various
public encomiums whi(*h Mr. Macnaghten received for tlie successful study of the Oriental languages;
and it may be sufficient to observe that he received at different times, six degrees of honour, and ten
me<lals of merit, in addition to rewards and prices of books for his proficiency. At the aixteenth
anniversary of the College, Lord Hastings, in noticing Mr. Macnaghten's exertions, stated, that ** there
wax not a language taught in the College in which he liad not earned the highest distinctions which the
Govennnent or the College could bestow.*'

On quitting the College in May 1810, he was ])laced as an assistant to the Register in the Sadder
Dewanny Adawlut, tlie highest Court of A]>i)eal in the Presidency ; an ajipointment eminently calculated
to improve and mature his knowledge of the languages and laws of the country. In November 1818,
he was deputed to officiate as Joint -Magistrate of Malda, and continued there a twelvemonth. In
Febniary, 1820, he was appointed to act in the higher capacity of Judge and Magistrate of Shahabad,
and during the two years of his incumbency, afforded the greatest satisfaction, both to the inliabitaats
and his suju'riors, as the following testimonial will show. ** Tlie reported excellent state of Shahabad
is consistent with what his Lordship in Council always anticipated from the services of Mr Macnaghten,
and has afforded Government much satisfaction."

In January, 1822, he returned to Calcutta as Deputy Register of the Sudder Court, and in the
course of the year, requested that a Committee might be appointed to examine him in Hindoo and
Mahomedan Law. Tlie Reports of its Members, Captain Lockett and Mr. Lumsden, in the latter,
and Dr. Carey, Dr. H. H. Wilson, and Captain Price, in the former, speak in the warmest terms of
the extraordinary proficiency he had evinced during a very searching examination. We need not load
this article witli a transcript of these testimonials ; it will be sufficient to (|uote the flattering mention
inatle of Mr. Macnnghten by the Marquess of Hastings, in the last address which that statesman
delivered at the College of Fort William : " For these distinctions a successful candidate has recently
presented himself and enrolled a name already honourably familiar in the Annals, and associated with the
best eras and efforts of the Institution. Mr. William Macnaghten has shown in his bright example, and
even amidst the engrossing duties of public station, that industry can command the leisure, and genius
confer the power, to explore the highest regions of Oriental literature and to unravel the intricacies of
Oriental law. The Committee of examination appointed to report on that gentleman's proficiency in
the study of the Midiomedan and Hindoo law, have exjiressed a very high opinion of his attainments,
and have pronounced him eminently qualified to consult, in the original, any work on the subject. It
is true, indeed, that his labours have been |)rost?cuted beyond the walls of this Institution ; but within
them was the foundatitm laid on which Mr. Macnaghten has reared so noble a superstructure." Within
a fortnight aAer thi^ coinniendation, on the 5th of JiJeptuuibcr, 1822, he was gazetted as Register of the

SIR W. H. MACNAGHTEN, BARONET. 57

Siidder Dewanny, within six years after he had quitted the College. This important appointment he
continued to hold for eight years and a half. The same extraordinary diligence which had raised him
to public distinction, was now exhibited in discharging the duties of the oftice with which he was
rewarded. In addition to the daily labours of the Court, he was enabled to carry through the Press,
three vols, of die reports of decided cases, and those which had been allowed to run into arrears, he was
i^abled to bring up almost to the date of publication. Of the cases published, more than two-thirds
were reported by himself. They are remarkable for their fulness and accuracy, and are considered a
standard authority on all l^al questions to which they refer. They enjoy the same reputation in our
local Courts, whidi the most esteemed and authentic reports do in the Courts at home. While occupy-
ing this station, he employed his knowldge of Sanskrit and Arabic for the benetit of the public, and
compiled two works, the one '* Considerations on Hindoo law," the other on Mahomedan law — whi6h
has proved eminently useflil in abridging and guiding the labours of the Judges. These monuments of
his erudition and industry will long continue to render his memory grateful to all who are employed
at the bar, or on the bench in this country.

At the close of 1830, Lord William Bentinck determined to make a tour through die upper and western
provinces for the facility of examining many questions of great interest and importance relative to the
revenue, the police, and the judicial systems, and more particularly to expedite the survey and settle-
ment of the North-west provinces. He was anxious to take the Council and the Secretariat with him,
with the view of establishing a Government on the spot, and discussing and deciding the important
questions which pressed on the attention of the public authorities. But it was discovered that the letter
as well as the spirit of the law, was opposed to such a proceeding, and that the powers of the Governor
General in Council, could only be exercised in Calcutta. The new charter which was soon afterwards
passed, provided for such a contingency, and enabled the Governor General to proceed on deputation
to any part of the Presidency with tiie full powers of the Council board, except in matters of legisation.
Lord William Bentinck was constrained, therefore, to proceed on his tour without any other assist-
ance than that of an intelligent Secretary ; and it reflects no small credit on Mr. Macnaghten that lie
should have been selected by so excellent a judge of character for his confidential adviser, in the circle
of difficult and important duties on which he was about to enter. Mr. Macnaghtcn's political career,
through which he reached the highest distinction open to the ambition of the Civil Service in about
eleven years, may be said to have commenced in January 1831. He accompanied the Governor Gene-
ral in Ms progress through the provinces, and assisted at the investigations and deliberations which then
took place. He afterwards went with his Lordship, as the official Secretary, to the meeting with
Rui^jeet Singh at Roopur, where he obtained his first insight into the mysteries of Lahore policy. This
training in the school of one of the greatest statesmen ever employed in the Indian administration, was
eminently beneficial to Mr. Macnaghten in his subsequent career, and it placed him at once in the
foremost rank of political functionaries. On the return of Lord William Bentinck to the Presidency
at the beginning of 1833, Mr. Macnaghten was entrusted with the Secret and Political Departments, and
continued to occupy this post in the Secretariat, both of the Government of India and of Bengal, for
more tlian four years.

Lord Auckland succeeded to the Government of India in March 1836, and in October 1837, pro-
ceeded on a tour to the N. W. Provinces. He resolved to take with him the individual in whom his
predecessor had reposed confidence on a similar occasion ; and it would have been difficult to point out
any individual, with the exception of Mr. Prinsep, better qualified, from his knowledge of Uic internal
machinery of the Government, and its political relations with subordinate or independent states, to give
his Lordship sound and salutary advice.

In October 1837, he left Calcutta, which he was never destined to revisit, but in which he was to
find a melancholy but honourable grave. He proceeded to Simla in the 8i;ite of the Governor General.
In the following year. Lord Auckland deemed it necessary to despatch the expedition across the Indus,
to avert the dangers which appeared to menace the empire from the machinations of Russia, and the
hostile movements of Persia ; and he entrusted the political management of it to Mr. Macnaghten, in
the Capacity of Envoy and Minister to His Majesty Shah Soojah. It was in connection with this enter-
prize which opened with the most brilliant success, but was subsequently marked by the most signal
disasters, that he has obtained so conspicuous a place in the history of India, and it is upon his con-
duct, in this difficult and responsible post, that his character as a public man hinges. In this personal
memoir, we do not profess to enter upon the broad and much debated ground of the political expedi-
ency or justice of the expedition, which involves so great a variety of considerations. Our object is
limitted to the individual conduct of the Envoy in this new and untrodden path, during the last three
years of his life.

The measure which appeared to the public authorities the most advisable for carrying their plan into
effect, was the esfAblishmcnt of a Government in Aflfghanislan bound to us by the tics of gratitude and
a common interest, by the substitution of Shah Soojali on the throne of Cubool in the room of Dost
Mahomed. There were abundant proofs before our Government of the tyranny of Dost Mahomed ;
and it was asserted by officers who professed to know the country, and the assertion was supported by
invitations to return from every chief of note — that the legitimate monarch would be received with open
arms by the Aifghans. He had on one occasion attempted the recovery of his paternal throne without
our aid 4 he had been joined by many chiefs of note, and was within a tittie of success. It was felt that
Affghanistan, in his hands, would cease to be the theatre of intrigues against our power.

"VVTien the expedition had been determined on, Mr. Macnaghten was deputed to Lahore to conclude
the tripartite treaty between Runjeet Sing, Shall Soojah, and the British Govenmient. This was the
first negociation in which he had been employed, and the skill with which it was managed, earned for
him the warm commendation of the Governor General. On his return arrangements were made for
the assemblage of an Army, intended to raise the siege of Herat and to accompany Shah Soojah to
Cabool. Mr. Macnaghten was selected aj Minifter at the Court of the Shah to represent our interests,

and to watch over the progress of events in Central Asia. No man appeared fitter for this duty thaa
Mr. Macnaghten ; he was intimately ac(|iuiinted with the native languages, and with the habits and feel-
ingly, and policy of the natives. He was an officer of large experience in public affairs, and of soimd
judgment. He was accordingly gazetted Envoy and Minister on the Ist October, and accompanied
Lord Auckland to the great gathering of the troops at Ferozepore. Wliile the army was encamped there,
it was announced that the Persians had raised the siege of Merat, and retired, which event rendered it
advisable to reduce the army by one-half, which set out on its long and dreary march through nntrodden
deserts and mountain defiles to seat the Shall on tiie throne of his ancestors, and Mr. Macnaghten
accompanied him as envoy and minister. A more difficult and delicate office than that to which Mr.
Macnaghten was now a])pouited has seldom been confided to a suborduiate functionary in the east.
He was the chief political Agent in an ex])etlition sent on an hazardous errand, through unknown
regions, where the military or political experience accjuired in India could be of little avail. He wu
to accompany a prince, whom our presence was likely to rendt'tr unpo))uIar, through a country of the
most impracticable character, which had been the grave of many previous expeditions, to scat him oo
the throne of hL< ancestors. lie was in a difficult position as to the i)eople of the country, and in t
still more difficult ])osition as to the Military authorities with whom he was associated. The dipk).
matic arrangements were placed in (me hand, and the military direction of affairs in another. In these
circumstances it was scarcely possible that the two classes of offices should not come into coUisioo.
on the numerous occasions in which either negotiations were to regulate Military movements, or tho»
movements to assist negotiations. It required no small tact and temper to prevent the interruption d
the object of the expedition by misunderstandings. The army reached Candahar on the 25th of Aprfl,
but nothing particular worthy of such a notice occurs for some time after this in the career of the Envoj.
The Military memoirs of the war have told how Ghuzni was taken, how the Dost fled, the subaeqncBi
surrender of his family, and how the Shah was installed in the Bala Ilissar, and how a considerabk
portion of the army was then sent back to India. We arc anxious to touch chiefly upon those eveoti
which served to exhibit the character of the Envoy. At the beginning of 1840, he was honored witk
the most substantial token of the approbation with which his conduct in Affghanistan was viewed,
by being raised to the dignity of a Baronet.

On the 3d of November Dost Mahomed suddenly presented himself, and on aacertuning that tfe
Envoy was before him, dismounted and claimed his protection. The effect of this sudden apparitkn
on the mind of the Envoy may be more easily conceived than described. All idea of retribution or
revenge vanished from the mind of the Envoy as he took the Dost's arm and walked up to his house;
the Dost, on entering, delivered up his sword, with the remark that he had now no further use for it
Tlic conduct of Sir W. H. Macnaghten to the Dost was marked by the kindest sympathy and attentioii.
The surrender of the Dost gave Sir W. U. Macnaghten some respite, and he was enid>led to torn hb
attention to tlie reform of the internal management.

In September 1840, Sir W. H. Macnaghten had been nominated provisional member of the Coondl
of India, and in September 1841, he received farther token of the approbation with which his condoct
had been viewed in the highest quarters at homo, by his appointment to the office of Governor of
Bombay. He bad thus attained the higliost honours within the reach of any Civil or Military Servant
on the Indian Establishment. If he had ambition for high ])lace, it was amply satisfied. He now pre*
pared to quit Affghanistan, and had fixed the early part of November for the period of his departurr,
but, alas ! how vain are human expectations. Tliirty-two days after tliis burst of exultation, be
became the first victim of an emute which ended in severing our connection with Affghanistan. And
the very week in which Sir William Macn.ighten was making preparations for his departure, he wis
arrested by an insurrection which terminated in his own assassination and the destruction of the entire
army. In a conference with Akhbur Kiian, the son of the Dost, the Envoy was shot dead with the
pistols which he had a day or two before received as a present from him.

Thus perished by the hand of an assassin at the age of forty-eight, one of the most distiuguiiheil
servants of the Indian Government, just as he had raised himself by his own merits to the Kigliwi
honours of the administration.

It was no little relief to the feelings of Sir William Macnaghten's relatives and friends, that hb
remains were not abandoned in the country in wliich he had been so treacherously massacred. Tltey
were rescued from the pit to which the barbarous Affghans had consigned them, by the affectionate
solicitude of his widow, and brought down to the Presidency, and were accompanied to their finil
resting place by the whole body of the coramunily, and interred amidst the sympathies of the metn>-
polls. A Monument is erected over his grave in the new English Burial Ground in Circular Road.
The Inscription will be found inserted under the proper head. The following lines are copied fnMD a

THE MOST NOBLE RICHARD, MARQUIS OF WELLESLEY, K. P. K. G. D. C. L., Scc.

(Late Governor General qf British India.)

This distinguished individual was one of the galaxy of great men by whom the reign of George UL
was illustrated and adorned. England was called upon to confront perils, both political and social,
such as she never before encountered, and by which the whole framework of her policy seemed about to
be disorganised. And not the least among the remarkable men who were raised u]) to be her stay and
her protection against the revolutionary madness which was desolating the rest of Europe, was Richard
Colley Wellesley, whose abilities will bear a comparison with those of the most gifted and brilliant of
his contemporaries, and whose services were only second to those of his illustrious brother, his eleve in
the field. of fame, and whose renown is identified with the brightest page of his country's military glory.

He was bom on the 20th June 1760, his biographer is uncertain whether at Dangan Ca«itle, the seat
of the family, in the^ county of Meath, or at their town residence, in Grafton Street, Dublin. His
father, the Earl of Momington, was remarkable for his musical abilities, and his kuidly and benevolent
nature first it was that led to the establishment of a loan fund, upon the principle of the Monte Piete
Institution, by which, while distress was relieved, industry was encouraged, and habits of thrift and
economy promoted which, in many instances, raised the borrowers from distress and want to opulence
and prosperity. Lord Mornington died on the 22d of May 1781, and his eldest son, the subject of
our present memoir, wanted just one month of his majority when he succeeded to the family estate and
title. He at once placed himself in loco parentis to his younger brothers and sisters, voluntarily made
himself responsible for his father's numerous pecuniary obligations, and showed his good sense as welt
as his filial affe^^n by placing the estates under the management of his motlier, by whose vigorous
understanding ^^new well they would be better administered than they could be by one whose cares
must thencefonlBi chiefly devoted to public objects.

Let us now look at him during the most brilliant portion of Ids career, in his Indian administration.
On the 4th of October 1797, he was appointed Governor General of India, having been raised to the
dignity of a Peer of Great Britain, by the title of Baron Wellesley. He had acquired, while a member
of the Board of Control, a considerable knowledge of the details of Indian government, and had, more-
over, an opportunity of receiving information and instruction from the Marquis of Comwallis, with
whom he was upon intimate terms ; which must have been of great service in imparting to him a living
knowledge of the various parties and interests with which it concerned him so much to be well acquainted.
Upon his arrival at the Cape of Cood Hope it was his good fortune to meet with Lord Macartney,
Colonel Hobart, and General Baird ; all of them long residents in India, and having filled stations of
trust and importance, which stamped a peculiar value upon their communications. From them he learned
the perilous state of our Eastern possessions, from a French influence which was at that time making
itself felt ; and he was thus early warned of the necessity of those precautionary measures, by the wise
and vigorous adoption of which our Indian interests were placed out of danger.

The arrival of a ship from Calcutta, with despatches for the Secret Committee of the Board of
Control, was another of the lucky incidents of which the Governor General availed himself. He did
not for a moment hesitate to assume the responsibility of breaking the seal, and possessing himself of
their contents, upon the ground that he regarded it as ^' an indispensable part of his duty to obtain as
speedily as possible the most authentic accoimt of events, so deeply affecting the interests committed
to his charge, and of which any false impression might render him less equal to the execution of his
public trust." His brother. Colonel Arthur Wellesley, a name since so renowned, had been at that
time, a year and three months serving with his regiment in India ; and we may be well assured that
his observations, both of men and things, were not the least interesting or the least valuable portion of
the mass of information with which the new representative of the British Government entered upon his
important duties. He was thus enabled to write a despatch to Lord Melville, before he touched the
soil of India, conveying as full and as masterly an account of the perilous condition of Biitish interests
in India, as if he had been a rraident for many years ; and to form plans of its future Government, by
which the evils he had so much reason to apprehend, and which would otherwise in all likelihood, have
wrested from us om* Indian possessions, were effectually prevented.

On the 8th of June, just twenty-two days after he had arrived at Fort William, liis attention was
arrested by an article of intelligence in a Calcutta newspa]ier, purporting to be a copy of a proc^lamation,
in the French language, published by the Governor of the Isle of France ; and announcing tlmt two
ambassadors had arrived from Tippoo Sultaun, with letters addressed to the authorities of the Island,
as well as despatches to be forwarded to the French Directory ; the object of which was, the formation
of an alliance, offensive and defensive, with France, for the purpose of expelling the English from
India. General Harris jf^as at that time commander of the forces, and acting Governor in the Presidency
of Madras, and to him Lord Wellesley immediately communicated this proclamation, with a view to
such precautionary measures as the threatened exigency might seem to require. There are those by
whom be has been censured for having taken so strong a step, upon grounds apparently so very slight.
But he knew the man with whom he had to deal; and evea iif no such proclamation appeared, he felt

1 2

60 THE MOST NOBLE RICHARD, MARQUIS OF WfiLLESLET.

the necejtsily of being on his guard ngainst liini. Tippoo has l>een rightly deHcribed as the royal tiger
uf MyHore ; and the Mteulth, as well as the navage oner^^y of that formidable beast of prej, found thdr
counteqiartfl in his character and his policy, whi(*h weic na wily nnd crouching as they were ferocioos.
He could creep until he cnnie within a ii])ring of hbi victim, and the tirKt notice of bis a}^HtMch would
be the bound hy which his enemy would be secured and all fiirther struggle with him rendered hope-
less. Was Lord Welleslcy to wait until such an enemy had matured his plana, and, by means of
French auxiliaries and French intrigue, gone far to accomplish his objects ? — No. Wisdom required
that there should be promptitude and vigour in the movement by which this formidable danger was ta
be arrested ; and while Lord Wellesley resolved that nothing on his part should be left undone bj
which the British interest in India might be protected from attack, he took good care that his mea^
Bures should be so reasonable, that no just offence could be taken at them, if fortunately, his a|^rchei^
sions should be proved to have been groundless. '* You will," he writes to Greneral Harris, "there-
fore, turn your attention to the means of collecting a fon^e, if necessity should unfortunatriy require
it ; but it is not my desire that you should proceed to take any public steps towards the assembling tiie
army, before you receive some further intimation from me."

He did not hesitate a single moment after the authenticity of the French proclamation had beea
fully established, to acquaint Lord Harris with his final determination, wliich was, to call upon the
allies without delay, and to assemble the anny upon the coast with all possible expedition.

"You will receive," he writes, •* my public instructions in the course of a few days. Until yoa
have received them, it will not be proper to take any public steps for the assembling of the army ; bat
whatever can be done without a disclosure of the ultimate object, I authorize you to do immediately, in-
tending to apprise you by this letter that it is my positive resolution to assemble the army tipom ike
coast. 1 wish to receive from you, by express, a statement of the force which you can put in motioQ
immediately, and within what time you can m<ike any large additions to it."

Lord Wellesley, although fully prepared for war, was by no means desirous of pushing matters to
extremities, as long as any hope remained that security might be obtained by amicable ni^;otiation. He
accordingly continued to press upon the Sultaun the expediency of such measures as their oommoa
interests required, and as were indispensable, if friendly relations were to be observed ; and rcceiTed
from him the most glowing assurances of undiminished respect and regard, even up to the very mo*
ment when the campaign was commenced, which he confidently })elieved must end in our deatructioo.

When all was ready for action, Tippoo announced to Lord Wellesley that he was going upon '* i
hunting expedition." He did not, however, thus elude the vigilance of his eagle-cy^L obaenrer. The
necessary orders had already been g^ven for the march of our troops into the territo^Bf MjTSore ; and
it soon became manifest to all men, that, had there been less of foresight or of vij^^Rn anticipating
and providing against hostile designs, there would have been, humanely speaking, but little ^^^^^r* of
contending successfully against such an enemy. His first movements are thus described :— •

" Having succeeded in raising an cx])ectation, that it was his intention to move in the direction of
Mahgalore, he secretly left his camp on the 28th of February, at the head of twelve thousand men,
and rapidly marching across the country, passed the frontier, and quitting his own territories, sudden-
ly fell upon the Bombay army, under General Stuart, the total sti*ength of which was 6,420. It is
important to remark, as a commentary upon all Tippoo's pacific professions, tliat he began this move-
ment five days before General Harris entered Mysore, and that he was engaged in an attempt to cut to
pieces by surprise the British force at Seedapore, in the dominions of one of the allies of Great Britain,
at the very moment that at the opposite side of the kingdom, General Harris was entering Mysore.
Tippoo succeeded in throwing a body of his troops between tlu' detachments of Generals Stuart and
Hartley, and for a time, threatened the annihilation of the British force. Eventually, however, Tippoo
was repulsed at all points ; and without awaiting to strike a second blow, hurried back to Seringapa-
tam. In this affair, the British lost 43 men : Tippoo's loss was, doubtless, considerable.

" Tippoo now concentrated his whole force against the aiiny of Madras, under General Harris, and
endeavoured to make an impression upon it, before a junction was formed between the forces of Generals
Harris and Stuart. Tip])oo Sultaun in person led on a furious onset on the British lines at MaUavefly ,
remarkable as tlie place where the illustrious hero of a hundred fights, then Colonel W'ellesley, fought
his first battle in India. A formidable body of Mysore horse bore down upon Colonel WeUesley's
division, consisting of the 33rd regiment and the Nizam's forces. The 33rd were ordered to reserre
their fire till the enemy were within pistol shot ; they then poured in a dreadful fire, and, quickening
step, attacked Tippoo's trooi)s with the bayonet. General Floyd's dragoons, from the centre, charged at
this crisis and a total route of the Mysoreans took place. They fled, haring suffered a loss of two
thousand, who fell in the field or in flight.

On the 7th of April, 1799, General Harris sat down before Seringapatam, and it was not until then
that Tippoo bethought himself of endeavouring to avert the threatened calamity by n^|;ociation. It is
amusing to read the lamb-like letters in which the baflled tiger now expresses his surprise that bis
capital should thus be assailed ! He cannot at ail understand it ! His firm adherence to treaties is con-
fidently asserted ; and he wonders how he could ever be regarded by the British as anything but their
most steadfast friend ! But the die was cast. It was too late now to counterfeit or expostulate ; and
the only terms which were offered to his acA%])tance by tlie British General were such as, if accepted,
must have from henceforth deprived him of all agi*essive power ; and his spirit was not yet sufficiently
subdued to endure what he regarded as the extreme of humiliation.

The siege accordingly was carried on with vigour. On the 30th of April, 1799, the breaching battery
opened against the walls, on the 2d of May a magazine blew up, spreading daath and consternation
amongst the inhabitants ; and on the 3d a breach was formed, whi(*h was deemed practicable, and
preparations were made for the assault on the following day. To General Baird this important duty
was entrusted, and it could not have been placed in better bauds. The intrepid advance of the storming
party is thus described :—

THE MOST NOBLE RICHARD, MARQUIS OF WELLESLEY. 61

" Before daybreak on the rooming of the 4 th of May — a day memorable in the history of India — the
storming party, consisting of 2,500 Euro])ean8, and 1,800 sepoys, were in the trenches. The General
bade some of his old comrades of the 71st, who had on a former occasion been oppressed by Tippoo,
to remember that they had now an opportunity of * paying off old scores/ At one o'clock the signal was
given : Baird stepped out of the trenches, and, drawing his sword, exclaimed, * now, my brave fellows,
follow me, and prove yourselves British soldiers !' It is scarcely possible adequately to conceive the
anxious suspense with which the progress of the intrepid and devoted band, ais they dashed forward
upon the * forlorn hope,' was view^ from the lines.

Baird was rapidly followed by his mem, as he crossed the rocky bed of the river Cavery, which it
was necessary to pass before tiie foot of the breach could be gained. Tlie General is in the breach !
the assaulting column presses forward in close array, volumes of fire and smoke envelope the assailants ;
the hurrahs of the British are heard amid the thunders of the artillery — they rush forward undaunted
by the deadly storm ; a chosen band of Tippoo's guards make a sally on the flank of the assailants ; the
Mysoreans are repulsed with fearful slaughter, and the next moment the English colours wave from the
walls ! These were the events of less than ten minutes. General Baird, and Colonels Sherbrooke and
Dunlop, swept the ramparts to the right and to the left ; but encountered a desperate resistance from
Tippoo's troops, who evinced great gallantry and devotion to the sultaun."

Thus fell Seringapatam. The fate of Tippoo was sufficiently tragical. He fought bravely to the
last, supported by some devoted followers, who resolved to perish with their royal master : and fell a
victim to the vengeance of an enraged British soldier, whom he wounded in the knee when seeking to
despoil him of some of his personid ornaments, and who, ignorant of his rank, instantly levelled at him
his musket, and blew his brains out.

The most ample acknowledgments of the merits and services of the Governor General were made by
those who, before success had crowned his efforts, had expressed the strongest opinions against the
course of action upon which he had resolved. No one saw any thing but certain destruction to British
power in the inaction which they recommended, or could s])eak of Lord Wellesley's bold and vigorous
measures but with a sentiment of the most exalted admiration. If, at the commencement of the
campaign, he had his anxieties, now, verily, he had his reward.

Nor is it to be omitted, even in the briefest account of the Indian administration of tliis distinguished
nobleman, that he declined, from motives of delicacy, to accept one hundred tliousand pounds, which
was proposed to be allocated to his use from the prize money of Seringapatam : a striking proof of his
lofty disdain of personal considerations when placed in a high public trust, and which, it is to be
lamented, was not exhibited by others, whose grasping eagerness for a dLsproportioned share of the
booty obtained in Tippoo's capital, is in painful contrast with the gallantry by which it was captured.

The Governor General's attention was now earnestly bent upon the settlement of the newly acquired ter-
ritories, and such improved relations with the neighbouring states as might be a guarantee for future peace.

Having been successful in his Indian measures beyond what his most sanguine hopes could have
anticipated, and added to the Company's possessions an extent of territory which rendered them ten
times more valuable than they were before, he has been accused of ambition and tyranny in his dealings
with the native princes, and it has been more than insinuated that, being without any real cause of
complaint, he sought for pretexts of hostility for the purpose of accomplishing their subjugation.

Had not Lord Wellesley been a conqueror, he would, in all human probability, have been a captive ;
and had not the Company's possessions been enlarged, the British would now have no footing in India.

He found the seat of his g((vernment in peril, and its resources at the lowest ebb ; he left it in
security and with flourishing revenues, more than sufficient for all its necessities ; nor should it be
forgotten, even in the briefest sketch of the Indian administration of the remarkable man, that, having
defeated his native enemies, and taken adequate precaution against a recurrence of hostilities on their
parts, he was able to send a disposable force of eight thousand men, under General Baird, to co-operate
with Lord Hutchinson in expelling the French from Egypt.

He returned to England in January 1806, and found his illustrious friend, Wm. Pitt, fast approach,
ing to his latter end. The Marquis has left on record a sketch of his character, which will be read with
unmixed pleasure by the lovers of real greatness. Our space does not permit us to quote it at length,
but we must make room for a single paragraph, in which an effectual negative is put upon those
suspicions respecting his religious belief, which might be contracted from the brilliant ramblings of
Lady Hester Stanhope, as well as the more saintly inuendoes of that excellent man, Mr. Wilberfore.
Upon this subject Lord Wellesley may well be supposed to speak with authority : —

** He had received regular and systematic instruction in the principles of the Christian religion, and
in the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England, and in every branch of general ecclesiastical
history. His knowledge on those subjects was a<fcurateand extensive. He was completely armed against
all sceptical assaults, as well as against all fanatical illusion ; and, in truth, he was not merely a faithful
and dutiful, but a learned member of our Established Church, to which he was most sincerely attached,
with the most charitable indulgence for all dissenting sects.

** No doubt can exist in any rational mind that this early and firm settlement of his religious opin-
ions and principles was a main cause of that cheerful equanimity, which formed the great characteris-
tic of his social intercourse, and which was never affected by adversities nor troubles."

In the year 1821, he was appointed Lord lieutenant of Ireland ; at the time he had to administer
Its government under the reform act, and found a tribunician power which more than counteracted all
his efforts for the public tranquillity.

With a great respect for the Christian religion, and we believe, a general conviction of its truth, we
look in vain, in his life and conversation, for any proof that he entertained more than a speculative
belief in the mysteries of redemption ; aud what is most painful, as he advanced into the shade of a long
evening, there seemed to us to be less and less evidence, that faith, in the evangelical sense of the word,
was realized.

His circumstances were far from easy ; and then it was, and not until then, that the East India
Directors nobly came forward and proffered for his acceptance a sum of twenty thousand pounds, ad
a small token of their sense of hi^ merits and his sacrifices, while maintaining tiieir interests in India.
His despatches were ordered to be printed for distribution in the tliree Presidencies ; and a marble statue

and according to a desire expressed in his will, his remains were deposited within the precincts of his
beloved Eton, the Seminary in which he had received his early education. The following lines were
written in 1840 ; they are in reply to some complimentary verses addressed to him, by the present
Provost of Eton, Dr. Hodgson, upon receiving his bust, which has been placed in the College Library ;
and happily express the sentiment with which that ancient seat of learning, which witnessed the tri-
umphs of his youth, continued to be regarded by him in his old age : —

The Rev. IVilliam Hunter Ross, arrived in this country in December, 1843, and succeeded the
Rev. Henry Thomas as Assistant Chaplain of St. James' Church. For about two months be conducted
the duties of his charge alone, till the arrival of the Rev. W. O. Ruspini, who was appointed his co-adjutor,
as Senior Chaplain. After three or four months Mr. Ruspini was removed to the Cathedral, and for
six weeks or two months previous to his demise he had again the sole charge.

The deceased clergyman was of a very humble turn of mind, and his intercourse with his parishoners
was characterized by great good nature. On Sunday the 4th August, he was at his post, and on
Tuesday following he complained of feeling ill, and died the following day by an appoplezy.

MISS MARY BIRD.

There are few occasions which remind us so forcibly of our own insignificance, as being called upon
to record the departure from this world of those whose place we cannot see the means of supplying <
and such is pre-eminently the case with her whose lamented death is here noticed. All who knew,
or had even heard of Miss Bird, will readily confess no one exists in India on whom her mantle can
fall — no one, who after seeing her exertions, can go and do likewise. It is not possible in this brief
notice to say all that could be said of the deceased. Few lives could more beautifully exemplify the
Christian character ; but it will be a mehmcholy satisfaction to her friends to see even an attempt to
record her virtues.

Miss Bird, the eldest daughter of Robert Bird, Esq. of Taplon, Bucks, devoted her time and
talents during her early life to the instruction of the poor and ignorant in the neighbourhood, in
which her father resided ; but though much might be said of her labours in England, it is with
her unwearied zeal in India, that we have now to do. She arrived in this country in 1823, and

64 ST. THOMAS* CHURCH, FREE SCHOOL.

proceeded to her brother, R. M. Bird, Esq. of tlic Civil Service, then stationed at Gomckpore, a
place well suited to her taate. A Mission of the Established Church had ahready been formed there in
which she imiuediutely became warmly interested, and with tlic view of instructiug the Native females
connected with it, she commenced tlie stuuy of Hindoostanee. Her extreme quicknesa soon enbled her
to make rapid progress, and besides assistmg in 8U{)erintending the boys' schools, she collected one on
her own premises for Native females ; she was thus occupied in the same benevolent way she had beea
in England, visiting and instructing the young and ignorant ; nor was this all, for her she commenced
translating elementary works into Hindoostanee, and continued to devote some portiGQ of her tima
daily to this usefiil employment till her lamented death. In this interval she paid some short viaits to
the neighbouring Missionary stations, and also to Calcutta, for the purpose of contributing to the com<
fort of a younger brother sutfering severely under the bereavement of an amiable wife, who fell a victim
to cholera ; the same frightful disease tliat so suddenly terminated tlie life and labours of his admirable
sister. In 1830, she finally quitted Gomckpore and came to Calcutta with the intention of remaining
as long as she could be useful ; and with a courage which those only who knew the real aensttivenefli
of her nature can estimate, she commenced seeking where she could do good, and when once this was
found, nothing could deter her from prosecuting her labours, till fruits of success were Tisible. No
power but love could thus have animated a feeble delicate and timid female. Love to God in the first
place, love to her fellow-beings in the next, though most acutely alive to the opinions of those she
lived amongst, she still pursued her way through evil report and good report. The path she marked
out for herself, new and hitherto untrodden, was to visit in their homes, tlie numeroos females descended
from Christian parents, of whom Calcutta abounds, who speak Hindoostanee, but are totally unable
to benefit by instruction in English, or read any language at all. To these persons Miss Bird was the
messenger of glad tidings, explaining and teaching the Gospel of peace with such earnestness and
sincerity, that she seldom failed to make a deep impression. She devoted Thursday evening in every
week to the instruction of these Hindoostanee females at her own residence ; by degrees, the number
increased, and in the afternoon of Sundays for two years past, they were joined by a few nathe
converts under the instruction of a Christian Moulovee, who assisted, by reading the prayers and exposi-
tion of scripture, which Miss Bird had previously prepared. At the time of her death, there were no
less than fifty-five females who were thus receiving instruction in the way of life eternal.

This work, alone would have satisfied many and would even have been too laborious for most, but it
was only part of her exertions for the benefit of others. Her method of communicating instruction
was so happy that she was requested by several of the ladies conducting Schools in Calcutta to devote
some time each week to imparting religious knowledge to their pu))ils, and this she most readily did.
For the same purpose, she visited the Orphan School at Allipore ; she established a Bible class consisting
of about 30 young Females, who regularly assembled every Monday evening. She offered her most
cordial assistance in forming the Sunday School assembled at the Free School Church. She also once
a week instructed a claits of native boys under the care of the Christian Moulovee, in €reographv.
During this time her labours in English and Hindoostanee composition did not cease. Besides her
Commentary on the book of Genesis, well calculated fur the improvement of famalies and schools, she
published both in English and Hindoostanee, '* England Delineated," and fitted several valuable School
books for more general use in India. She com])Ieted the outline of ancient History, and translated the
whole of it into Hindoostanee. She finished a Tract on the Ten Commendments, which had been
commenced at Gorruckpore, besides several smaller tracts. She translated also a small work on
Geography of her own composition. Brewster*s valuable Treatise on Astronomy, with maps ; and was
engaged on a History of England, which she had brought down to the reign of William the 2d, when
she died. The above is a very imperfect sketch of what she did, and few can describe how she did it, or
delineate all the excellencies of her character ; her mental powers were very uncommon ; she was r<»dy
at acquiring and retaining and applying knowledge.

In translating the wf^rk on a.stronomy she encountered many matliematical difficulties, which were
new to her, but till she fully understood them, she did nut give up the study, nor attempt to continue
the translation. As a remarkable instance of this, we may mention, that having to explain the compu-
tation of the distance of the earth from the sun, she was not satisfied, till she had made herself mistress
of the mathematical demonstration of the mode of doing so, by the transit of Venus, for the purpose of
inserting it in her translation. She was perfectly conversant with the best English and French Authors,
and possessed a fine taste. But all these literary qualilicalion.s, which would have been worthy of remark
in others, were totally lost ^ight of in the superior excellencies of her character as a Christian. Jane
Taylor remarks, what an honour to have been noted by St. Paul as one of the excellent and worthy
women of his day, amongst such how pre-eminent would the deceased have been. Devoted in more
than a common degree to her parents and family, dwelling with enthusiastic delight on their pleasures,
and sympathising with their pains, she could still give uj) all for Christ.

She could relinquish the comforts and elegancies of home and devote her time, her means, and her
talents, to the poor and neglected of the land, and to imparting a knowledge of salvation to them that
sit in darkness and the shadow of death. Her affections were as warm, her 8i>irit as joyous, her heart
as guileless as though she had never known the cares or sorrows of this world. Wherever she wait
she was a bond of union, and of love ; incapable of giving, she was equally slow at taking offence ; and
would not believe that any one would willingly distress her. Delicately formed and exceedingly lame
in consequence of an accident which occurred many years ago, her enthusiasm enabled )ier to endure
such fatigue as many robust men would have shrunk from. Tlie evening before her death, she passed at
the Kidderpore Orphan School apparently in perfect health, or at least as well as any one could be,
during the extreme licat of the weather. On retiring at night she felt indisposed, but delayed disturb-
ing any one, or sending for medical aid, till near morning, when the fatal disease was confirmed. The
usual remedies of cholera were tried, but she expired before 10 o'clofk on the 29th of May, her 48th
birth-day. She observed to a venerable and most beloved and revcied friend who visited her bedside.

ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH, KIDDERPORE. 65

that it was her birth-day. Hu reply was suited to the spirit of the suffering Christiaxii that it would
most probably be her eternal birth-day. An affecting proof of the success of her labours, and the
esteem in which she was held, was afforded by the crowds of old and young of the class, chiefly to
whom her labours of love had been directed, that assembled at her funeral, all anxious to testify their
affection and respect.

It has thus been attempted most imperfectly to record some memorial of this truly excellent and
devoted Christian. Whatever remains that we would have said, has been so beautifully expressed in the
last Reoort of the Free School, that we cannot do better than conclude in its words : —

'* TUe Governors cannot close this Report without adverting to the irreparable loss which the Free
School has sustained by the sudden and unexpected death of Miss Mary Bird, one of their lady visitors.
To her unweared diligence, active piety and cheerful disposition, no commendation of theirs can do
justice." Regardless of bodily weakness, and a climate quite enough to excuse inactivity, she went
about doing good to those whom few care to seek after. From house to house, she carried consolation,
teaching the young and the aged of her own sex, where without fear of disappointment, they might
And rest to their souls, the unsearchable riches of Christ ; the faithful saying, that Jesus came into
the world to save sinners, was her delightful theme. On this she loved to dwell with that happy
cheerfulness of heart, which imparted a peculiar charm to her character and on the affections of aU
who listened to her discourse. On the Free School she conferred benefits, which will be remembered
with lasting gratitude by many, long after their connection with the Institution has ceased. A week
never passed in which she was not twice or thrice foUnd seated among the children, patiently con-
veying instruction, as though she had been a hired servant, rather than a gratuitous friend. One so dis-
interested, so zealous, so indefatigable, so desirous of doing good, is seldom found. Her memory will be
dear to a multitude of sorrowing friends, by whom Ae will be honoured as one of those excellent
women who have privately laboured in the Gospel, and whose names are written in the Book of Life.

The Rev. If. Forsytli was bom in the year 1769, at Smalholm Bank, Dnmfries-shire.

In 1797 he was accepted as a candidate for Missionary labours in conjunction with the Rev. J. Ed*
mond ; he arrived in India the following year, and commenced his ministrationa in Dr. Dunwiddae's
lecture>room in the Cossitollah. His attention was afterward directed to Chinsarah, where there waa
no regular clergyman ; he sought and obtained permission to officiate in the settlement Church there,
where his diligent ministrations were greatly blessed of God to the edification of his hearers, and dw
promotion of a spirit of piety amongst the people.

In 1809, he engaged, in conjonction with Dr. Carey, in opening the Lall Bazar Chapel, in which he
continued to preach during the evening of the Lord's-day to the close of his life. In his character he
seemed to yield an exception to the almost universal applicability of the declaration of Solomon, that
the ^* fear of man bringeth a snare )** and he was quite content to maintain that coarse invariably allot-
ted to the Christian Missionary, if he be a faithful one. *' He was gentle unto all men, apt to teach pati-
ent ; in meekness instructing those who oppose themselves, if peradventure God would give them
repentance to the acknowledgment of the truth."

It was not until the last year of his life, that he was the subject of sickness ; during that year, he
declined rapidly, and on the morning of the 11th February, 1816, his spirit departed.

A stone in the Chinsurah Burying Ground marks the spot where his ashes sleep.

REV. CHARLES PIFFARD.— (JfiMtVmary qfihe London Misnonary Society, died December
IIM, 1840.)

Through the political events of the period, Charles Piffard in his youth was compelled to reside with
his family in France for many years ; on the return of peace, be returned to England and entered his
father's counting-house. One Sabbath-day, excited by curiosity, he entered the Rev. J. Yockney'a
church Islington ; he was led to perceive that there was more in religion than he had up to that time beien
apt to suppose, and retired in a thoughtful mood ; the next day he procured a Bible, and it was not long
ere the word of God produced its effects ; he was led to embrace the Saviour in faith, and had pardon
and peace, imparted to his soul through the blood of the cross. He became zealous for the Lord ; and
to advance his glo^, was the most anxious desire of his heart. He gave a proof of it, when he devo-
ted himself to the work of a Missionary, at a time, when the sacred office was far from being popular,
and when he had the fairest prospects at home. He went through his theological studies in Glasgow
University, and at the Missionary Coll^^e at Gosport. For upwards of 15 years he laboured among
the heathen, in various ways, and by various means, and not without success. Trusting upon the
Lord for his blessing, he undertook all that Grod gave him an opportunity to undertake ; he esta-
blished and superintended schools, wrote and translated and distributed tracts ; and as a preacher in
the native language, he was one of the ablest, most zealous, active and persevering Missionaries that
ever came to India. Mr. Piffard never drew any stipend from the Missionary Society ; but support-
ed himself from his own means, which were ample, and with which besides, he did much good when-
ever an opportunity offered.

His remains were interred in the Scotch Burial Ground.

A marble tablet is placed to his Memory in the Union Chapel, and the following Inscription is
taken from it :

To the Memory of the Rev. Oharles PUfard,

who for 15 years laboured gratuitously in Bengal as a Missionary of the London Missionary Society.

He died on the 1 Ith December 1840; aged 42 years.

" He was a good man, full of faith, and of the Holy Ghost.*'

His exemplary piety, especially manifested in his humility, catholicity, benevolence, and untirinflr zeal

iu the cause of Christ, secured for him the love and esteem of Christians of all denominations, who

have united in erecting this Tablet, as an expression of their affection for one who consecrated

his life and property to the best interests of his fellow-men.
Mr. Piffard was 12 years co-pastor of the Native Churches at Rammakal Choke, and Gungree.
The tender and faithful manner in which he discharged the duties of his oflfice f^ained tor him the respect
of the heathen, the confidence of his brethren in the Mission, and the affection of all the members

of his charge.
" A beloved brother and a faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord.'*— Col. iv. 7.

<•

Remember them who have spoken unto you the word of God ; whose faith follow considering the end

Missionary to the Heathen, who died at Moorshedabad,

on the 3rd of August 1827, aged 3Q.

This Tablet is erected.

" He was a good man full of the Holy Ghost and of faith."

And we beseech you brethren to know them which labour among you and are over you in the Lord,

and admonish you aud to esteem them very highly in love for tneir works* sake.'*— Amen.

REV. J. KEITH.

On Monday the 7th October, 1822, Rev. Mr. Keith fell asleep in the bosom of his Redeemer. His
loss had not only b^ felt by the London Missionary Society to whidihe belonged, but by the Christian
community at large. Could the native population of India become sensible of how sincere a friend
Providence has called from labour to eternal rest, they also would deeply regret his decease. A
more zealous friend of the heathen — a man more concerned for the welfare of the institution to which

he wai atUched, and a more indefiatigablc labourer io the vineyard of his Lord, the page of history hai
seldom to record.

On this occasion we adopt the melancholy strains of Abnei's diri^, and join the Royal nummer in
exclaiming, " A great man has fallen in Israel.'* The Rev Mr. Keith had just attailiieid the sixth
year of his missionary labours in Calcutta, when the messenger of Jehovah announced the period of hu
departure, and dropped the veil which separates the unseen world from that which we inhabit between
him and us. During his short career he may be said, in conjunction with the Rev H. Townley, to have
laid the foundation of a mission in the metropolis of India, not very inferior in importance mad magni-
tude to any in the world. A Church had been formed, a congregation collected, and a spacioos house
of worship, called Union Chapel, has been erected ; in the labour of which he bore, if not the principal,
yet no inconsiderable portion. He shared the duties of the English services vrith the oo-psators of Union
Chapel, and was occupied almost every evening in communicating instruction to the natives, and in pastor-
al visits to the flock of which Grod had made him an overseer. He studied vrith commendable ^lersever-
ance, the Bengalee and Hindoostanee languages, and composed various tracts, whidi he publisBH in each
of them. He possessed so much dedsion of character, and perseverance in the plans which he formed,
that seldom any difficulties diverted him from his object. It cannot, however, be imagined diat die
deceased waji free from infirmities, and we recoUect that the Rev. H. Townlinr, when pa3fin^ the last
tribute to his memory, before a numerous and affected audience, said, *' Were I to affirm oooceming mj
departed brother that he was perfect whilst on earth, he himself, from the excellent glory, would be the
first to confront me with the words of the Apostle, ' If we say we have no sin we deeeiTe onrsehrc*,
and the truth is not in us.' But we desire not to discry those spots of imperfection whidi are lost in
the splendour of his disinterested benevolence and truly philanthrophic exertions, tArhic^ he becaae
a myrtyr.

REVEREND R. DeRODT.— Ira/« Mienonary qfthe London Minionury Society.

Mr. deXiodt was bom in Switzerland, February 2d, 1814. He received a classical edacation in the
College at Berne, where he became acquainted with five or six students who were united together hj
the bonds of Christian friendship. And it was undoubtedly in consequence of his piety, that when it
became necessary for him to chose a profession, he resolved to devote himsdf to the ministry of die
Gospel, and for that purpose he proceeded to Geneva to pursue the requisite studies. He there deter-
mined on the Missionary work, and in 1835, visited England. He sailed from Liverpool in company
with two other Missionaries, and arrived at Calcutta in 1836. He commenced his labours at Sona-
mooky, but in 1838, returned to Calcutta. He delighted in itinerating labours, and made several
extensive tours through various parts of Bengal and the adjacent Provinces. He was one of the most
active members of the Missionary body in Calcutta, and from his youthful age and vigonr of conatita-
tion, it was hoped from the commencement of his valuable labours, that he would prove of g ie alei use-
fulness in future years. His course however was cut short, apparently through his seal for the good
cause in which he laboured ; having set out on a visit to some schools in the Soonderbuna, he caught
the jungly fever, which terminated his life in a few days. His remains were interred in the Scotch
Burial Ground of Calcutta ; a Marble Tablet is erected in the Union Chapel with the fc^owing Inscrip-
tion :—

He was a faithful servant of Christ ; humble, frank, peaceable and laborious ; endowed with many talents,

natural and acquired, which he devoted to the one great object of promoting the glory of his Master,

by making known his blessed Gospel among the Natives of this Heathen land.

An uncommon promising genius, and

engaging and amiable disposition, made

him the delight of his father and a favourite

of the settlement ; in this season of innocence,

the hand of providence visited him with

a mortal disease, and removed him from the

presence of his earthly parent, to the

kingdom of his heavenly father and

Redeemer. The dictates of reason and

religion may teach us to acknowledge the

benefits derived to him from the change \

but the lenient hand of time only can

reconcile the feelings of paternal alfection,

to the disappointments of hope, on which

it had fondly rested, and which have

been thus untimely destroyed.

SIR WILLIAM JONES, KNT.— (Ontf qfthe Judges qfthe Supreme Court qf Judicature in Bengal,)

" Botli age and youth, promiscuous crowd the Tomb ;
No mortal head can sliun tli' impending doom." — Horat.

*' Sir l^illiam Jones was bom in A. D. 1746 at his father's residence in Wales ; he was son to the
celebrated mathematician, William Jones, who was both the disciple and friend of Newton, under whose
patronage he taught mathematics in London, and had the honor of instructing the late Earl of Hard-
wicke in that science.

** In 1782, Sir William Jones made the tour of France, after which he resided for a few months in
Paris, where he was introduced at Court. The French Monarch was much pleased with his conversa-
tion and made many inquires respecting some of the provinces he had travelled through, to all of which
he answered him in the particular dialect of each province. After Sir William withdrew, the king turned
about to one of his courtiers, saying, * he is a most extraordinary man ! He understands the language
of my people better than I do myself!' * Yes, please your Majesty,' replied the courtier, * he is,
indeed a more extraordinary man than you are aware of, for he understands almost every language in
the world, but his own.' * Mon dieu !' exclaimed the King, ' then of what coimtry is he ?' * He is,
please your Majesty, a Welshman !*

" In April 1783, Sir William Jones married Miss Shipley, daughter of the late Bishop of St. Asaph,
and sister to the Reverend W. D. Shipley, Dean of that Diocese.

'* In the same year Sir William Jones had been appointed one of the Judges of the Supreme Court
of Judicature in Bengal, and had embarked on board the * Crocodile' frigate.

" Sir William Jones arrived at Calcutta about the beginning of October ; and, after having taken his
seat on the bench of the Supreme Court, according to the usual forms, he lost no time in making
public his plan for instituting a Society at Calcutta, for the purpose of inquiring into the history, arts,
sciences and literature of Asia. The plan was embraced widi eagerness by those gentleman in Calcutta
who were best qualified to estimate its advantages, and to contribute to its support ; and being
patronized by Mr. Hastings, then Governor General, with that liberality with which he was wont to
foster every literary undertaking, the Society was soon found. The President's chair was first offered
to Mr. Hastings, but on his declining it, Sir William Jones was elected perpetual President; and he
delivered his preliminary discourse in February 1784.

*' He was now enabled to give ftill scope to the excursions of his mind, and to gpratify every wish of
his heart. The wide and fruitful region of Asiatic learning vras open before him, and the high and
independent situation which he filled, gave him a commanding prospect of it ; whilst he practised those
laws which it was the pride of his life to cherish and revere, and administered to his fellow-creatures
the pure maxims of justice and tnith.

'* He had long ardently desired to study the Sanscrit language ; and this desire was considerably
increased by the great progress which he found Mr. Wilkins had made in that ancient idiom, and still
more by that gentleman's elegant translation of the Bhagavat Geeta. He therefore commenced his
studies in the Sanscrit without delay, and in the course of three years made himself so completely
master of it, that the most enlightened professors of the doctrines of Brahma * confessed/ says Lord

Tcij^mouth, in his discourse on the death of his friend, * with i>ride, delight, and surprise tliat his
knowledge of their sarred dialect was most critically correct and profound. And the Panditd who
were in the habit of attending him, when 1 saw them after bis death, at a public durbar, could neither
suppress tlieir te^irs for liLs loss, nor find words to express their admiration at the wonderful progress
which he had made in their sciences."

*' The pertinacious and unwearied diligence with which he applied to his studies, deserves to be
recorded. He made a regular distribution and allotment of his time. He rose at daybreak, and
studied till breakfast time ; after which, during terms, he attended his duty in the Supreme Court,
from whence he returned home at three o'clock, and studied till four ; he then went to dinner, where
he generally had a select ])arty of friends assembled, whom he entertained with the utmost gaiety till
seven ; when he returned to his literary labours, and did not again quit them till midnight ; this was
his constant habit, from which he seldom or never deviated. No man enjoyed more than he did the
delights of friendly intercourse, and the festive pleasures of society ; but all his pleasures were subservient
to the paramount gratification he derived from the successful pursuit of the great end he had in view,
that of ser^-ing his country, and instructing mankind ; for what Johnson says of Pope, may with
strict truth be applied to him, * that he was one of those few whose labour is their pleasure.'

" The most useful work in which he was ever engaged, and upon which, therefore, he was the most
intent, de did not live to complete ; this was a copious digest of Hindu and Mahonmiedan law, compiled
from Sanscrit and Arabic originals, a plan of which he had presented to Government, who had given
it their most liberal patronage and strenuous support. The Pandits employed in the undertaking had
concluded their part of it, and the Moluvees had nearly finished the portion which it was their business
to supply, when the hand of death arrested the progress of the work and deprived society of a Jones.

** Tliat the good and evil, the felicities and misfortunes of^human life are alike precarious, u a great
and established truth, known and felt by the most untutored people. Every one knows that our lives,
being at the Divine disjiosal, are not for a moment sure. The hand of death hangs over us in the joyous
hours of hilarity ; threatens tlie tranquil pleasures of connubial happiness, and meets us with its pointed
dart amidst the dignity of religious and philosophic retirement. Death shoots his stings from every
side and is terrible to all. The rose of youth, and the grey hairs of age ; the blushing smiles of beanty,
and the paleness of declining elegance ; the glittering magnificence of royalty, and the humble roof uf
rural quietness ; the rudeness of unlettered barbarism and the polish of instructed genius ; must all
yield to the inevitable blow.

" When the social comforts of life thus dropt away, let us not, like Zeno, coldly refuse to pay our
tribute to departed worth, but with all the warmth of Tibullus, speak the language of our hearts.

** We have been led into these reflections by the death of that celebrated and illustrious man who
has opened the long hidden mines of Oriental literature and displayed them to the European world
with all the brilliancy of British eloquence, and who with all the amiable and endearing qualities of the
heart, disdaining the lesser amusements of life, devoted his time to the service of his country, of science
and of virtue.

'* Possessing in all the habitudes of life a perennial spring of cheerfulness, and a conciliating
gentleness of manners ; warmed by the sim])le greatness of moral affection, is there a heart so callous as
not to feel his loss ? Is there a husband who knows tlie tenderness of love and the purity of domestic
felicities ; is tliere a friend who glows with sincerity ; or is there a man who respects the divine attributes
of virtue, wlio does not deplore it with the deepest regret ? Their breasts beat with unison of sorrow
and with the calm manliness of silent grief, pay Uieir heartfelt tribute of affection to the memory of
tlie brother of human kindness.

" Virtues so transcendant, a heart so perfect and a mind so sound, form indeed a combination of
private excellencies rare and admirable.

** Religion, the source of every moral goodness, found in him a constant supporter and an obedient
child ; moderate and magnanimous, he was ortliodox without bigotry and zealous without ostentation,
with all the mildness of Chrbtianity he enjoyed its benefits and participated its enjoyments.

** Surh endearing benignity, seldom e<|ualled, and not to be surpassed, added a lustre to the splendour
of his i»ublic character, unparalleled even in the annals of literary record.

** We contem])late both the private and public endowments of Sir William Jones with a corropondent
and ])eculiar satisfaction. At home he was always good, and abroad he was always great. As a great
man, whether we consider the perspicuity of his genius, the variety of his powers, or U^ extent of his
erudition, we are alike enamonred and astonished.

** Of his mental (|ualifications, at once so splendid and extraordinary, let us indulge in the enumera-
tion. That promptitude of percqition which sees through systc^ms at a glance ; that brightneas of
understanding which no paradoxical theorems can cloud ; that solidity of judgment which scepticism
dares not approach, and above all that retention of memory which carries worlds on its wings, were
possessed by him in all the amplitude of perfection. With such ))ro[)ertie8, a lively fancy corrected by an
exquisite taste, formed his mind, while he was yet a boy, to the charms of poetry, which in his maturer
years, ripened into eminence as a poetical critic. But his infant attachment ancl partiality to the velvet
paths of muses, did not prevent him from penetrating with persevering assiduousness the thorny
avenues of science. Asa lawyer he distinguisiied himself at an early age : and he not oidy attained a
superior knowledge in the laws of his own country, but in those also of every other of the civilised
giol)e. Without having travelled much, but with a perfect knowledge of the ancient tongues, he not
only mastered all the ])oli.«hrd languages of EuroiK*, but also those of Asia. The Sanskrit, a language
of whieh, till Mr. Wilkin's publication, little was known but the name, and the celebrity of those who
speak it, he attempted, unassited by a Grammar, and conquered by that unwearied diligence to which
all other studies yielded. His numerous and elegant translations, and particularly his last very great
and curious production, ]>osterity will only need to know never to cease admiring. The present
generation already knows bufhcicnl to render the commcuts of an humble essayist useless and unavailing.

SOUTH PARK STREET BURIAL GROUNt>.

The name of Sir William Jones stands alone a monument of greatness ; it commands the attention of
surrounding nations, and extorts the praises of malignant criticism. It demands the gratitude of the
ignorant, the commemoration of the learned, and the prayers of the pious.

** Such were the virtues, such the acquirements of this mighty genius, who has at once illuminated
the eastern and western hemispheres ; whose name resounds through both with the fondest exclamations
of regard, and whose death was mourned from the throne to the cottage.

" To attempt an illustrnion of Sir William Jones' character by contrasting his powers with those of
other great men, is obviously unnecessary ; for where can a man be found either iu ancient or modem
history of equal knowledge ; others have gone through the beaten tracks of science, and some have
made roads of their own, but where can we find a man besides who has at once done both, and dug
through the almost inaccessible precipices of Asiatic learning ! With him the world was blessed : with
him his country was honored ; with him literature was graced, but the sacred arm of Omnipotence hath
snatched him from us to a happier and more exalted place where he will receive the rewards of virtue."

** As an excellent poet to whose translations we are indebted for many beautiful effusions of the Per-
sian muse, was endowed by nature with a mind of extraordinary vigour. Sir William, by unwearied
industry, aided by superior genius, successfully explored the hidden sources of Oriental science and
literature, and his attainments in this interesting branch of learning were such as to place him far be-
yond all competition the most eminent Oriental scholar in this or perhaps any other age.

** In his public character, the labour he afforded in the despatch of business, the clearness of his
discernment and his legal abilities, well qualified him for one of the guardians of the laws and the rights
of his fellow-citizens. As a scholar his name is known wherever literature is cultivated. In private
life he was companiable, mild, gentle, and amiable in his manners, and his conversation rich and ener-
getic. In fine, in all the relations of public and private life he was revered and beloved.

" Unlike many other eminent literary characters of the age, Sir William was a sincere and pious
JChristian ; instead of labouring by his writings to propagate the doctrines of infidelity, as has been a
favourite practice with some modem philosophers of reputation, he was desirous to lend the Scriptures
his utmost support, and in one of his latest annual discourses to the Asiatic Society he has done more
to give validi^ to the Mosaic History of the creation than the researches of any contemporary writers.

** In April 1794, he was attacked with a bilious complaint, which after a few weeks proved so obstinate
that it baffled the utmost skill of his physicians, and on Sunday morning the 27th of the same month,
he died, agreeably to the uniform tenor of his life, a Patriot, a Philosopher, and a Christian."

He was buried the day following with all the respect belonging to his rank, and what is more valua-
ble, with all the honors due to his virtues. A bust of Sir William Jones in marble can be seen at the
Asiatic Society's rooms.

The following Inscription is taken from an Obelisk erected over his rem^uis and is one of the loftiest
in the Ground : —

Sir l^illiam Jones, Knt.

who loved
his parents, kindred, friends, and country,
with an ardour
which was the chief source of
all his pleasures and all his pains :
and who having devoted
his life to their service, and to
the improvement of his mind, resigned it calmly,
giving glory to his Creator,
wishing peace on earth,
and with good will to all creatures.

A higher tribute shall his worth proclaim,

And virtue celebrate her vot'ry's name.

MR. CHARLES WESTON,

The son of the Recorder of the Mayor's Court, was bom in Calcutta in 1731, in a house then
opposite to where the Tiretta Bazar now stands. He witnessed the great storm and inundation of
1737, as it compelled his family to quit their house. The steeple of the Church he states to have
fallen prostrate. The houses of Uie Europeans in Calcutta, at tliat time were surrounded with spacious
gardens in which they stood central. This gentleman was the friend and associate of Mr. Holwell,
and carried arms as a militia-man at the Old Fort, in 1756. He was the founder of his own opulence ;
surely fortune never bestowed wealth better than on Charl^ Weston, a striking and *»*!sting ex-
ample, that chaste and refined sentiments are not confined to complexion or climate. This truly hono-
rable man resided at Chinsurah, amid a group qf necessitous people ^ soothed ond suppihrted by his
bounty. Those who had seen better days and on whom fortune had ceased to smile, were comforted
by Charles Weston. One hundred gold mohurs and upwards a month was regularly distributed to
the indigent, from a box placed on his taMe ; nor was there any Sircar to deduct or intervene ; all
came from his own venerable hand. He left a sum of about a lac of Rupees, the interest of
which is still distributed monthly by the vestry of St. John's, to a large number of the poor of
Calcutta and Chinsurah.

The following Inscription is taken from his Monument : —

Sacred to the Memory of Charles l^eston,

who departed this life on the 25th Dec. 1809,

in the 78th year of his age.

A life protracted to an unusual length,

he marked by an inostentatious life of

benevolence and charity,

seldom equalled, and never yet exceeded

in British India.

By the wise economical management of a fortune,

far from enormous,

(the product of his own industry, secured by the

Divine blessing,)

he was enabled to pour forth streams of

bounty and mercy.

He manifested a grateful mind,

by cherishing in his old age his former

employer and benefiustor,

the late Governor Holwell,

and after living the friend of the destitute,

the support of the widow and the fatherless,^

an ornament to the British name,

and a blessing to mankind,

he descended to the tomb amidst the

tears of the indigent,

and the lamentations of surviving friends.

This stone is placed here

as a tribute of united regard to the Memory of

a tender and revered grandfather,
by his affectionate and dutiM granddiilditn.

To rest on God their little hearts are taught,
And deeply as their loss they do deplore
They trust for safety in Uis mercies store.

DR JOHN ADAM.

John Adam was of a good famQy in Forfarshire, North Britain. He was bom at Forfar, in
January 1792, and was the eldest son of a respectable Surgeon, who had served in tlie medical staff of
the British army, both at home and abroad, and afterwards settled in private practice at Forfar. He
received the early part of his education at a private school in his native town, as well as at the Grammar
fechool of Dundee, and in the year 1807, at the age of fourteen he became a student at Mareschol College,
Aberdeen. There he resided two terms under the special charge of his relative, Bishop Skinner, an ac-
complished scholar, who directed his young friend's studies chiefly to the higher classics, and the
elemenUry portions of Chemistry and Natural History, branches of knowledge for which he entertained
a strong predilection.

Dr. Adam appears to have experienced an intuitive and strong attraction towards a particular calling,
and the history of his career proves that he made a proper and a wise choice.

Brought up in liis fatlier's houi«c, and accustomed from childhood to t)ie detaili of a Dispensary, he
acquired in prescription and in surgical, no less than pharmacentical manipulation, a precocioui facility
which was quite remarkable.

During his second rectus of the college, when sixteen years old, he was in medical charge of a regi-
ment of local Militia, where he displayed such taste and sagacity that he never found it reqaisite to
consult anybody.

In the autumn of the same year, 1809, he proceeded to. Edinburgli, where he matriculated for the
first time in November. The chairs of the University during the terms of his studies there, were filled
by Professors eminently distinguished in the annals of general and medical science.

In 1812, he passed Surgeon's Hall, and soon after passed examination before the Army Medical
Board in London, and was gazetted as an Hospital Assistant to the forces, in June of the same year ;
his views being directed towards active service in the Peninsula, circumstances however occurred whidi in-
duced him to abandon all idea of the army. He accordingly resigned his commission, became a member
of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, and in the beginning of November, proceeded to Edinbnrgfa
for the purpose of further prosecuting his studies, with the view of taking his degree in Physic

In May 1814, he returned for the last time to the University of Edinburgh, and passed his examina-
tions as a candidate for the summi honores medicinae with great credit. He ere long discovered, how-
ever, that the sphere of a country practitioner did not harmonize with his ambition. Accordingly he final-
ly left Scotland in 1816, for London. During his residence in the capital, he renewed his study of Natur-
al History, and was a constant visiter at the British Museum.

In 1817, he received the appointment of Assistant Surgeon in the Bengal Presidency, and proceeded
to India the same year. On his arrival in July, after the customary routine of attendance at tlie
General Hospital, he proceeded up the country attached to the Military branch of the Medical Service.
In all situations he served with uniform credit to himself, receiving the cordial approbation of his su-
periors. — In the course of the Military part of his service, he had good opportunities of witnesoni: the
diseases of the camp, and the details of medical duty with native and European troops. The experi-
ence and information that he thus acquired must have afterwards proved of great use to him when
Secretary to the Medical Board.

Dr. Adam's views now became directed to the Presidency. In 1820, through the kind office of the
Governor General Atfam, his wishes were accomplished by his being appointed one of the permanent
Assistant Surgeons at the General Hospital. In 1824, he exchanged appointments with a fHend, who
took his place at the General Hospital, and he became Assutant Marine Surgeon a situatioo wiiich has
nothing to recommend it, but the position in which it places the Medical Officer, with reAnreooe to pri-
vate practice, in which Dr. Adam was now becoming extensively engaged.

An object which he had long at heart was the formation of a Society in which medical men could
unfold their views and the result of their mutual experience. Dr. Adam finding that there were a few me-
dical friends at the Presidency who fully concurred with him as to the great utility of such an institotioD, a
communication was opened on the subject with the late Dr. Jas. Hare. On Dr. Adam, as the Secretary, by
far the most onerous share of labour fell, but it was to him " a labour of love.'' In 1825, he was selected
by Lord Amherst to fill the important and responsible situation of Secretary to the Medical Board.

In all the above respectable grades of Medical Service of the Blast India Company, he performed his
various duties with credit to himself and honor to his profession. While at the General Hospital, he always
made it a point to show the kindest attention to young Medical Officers joining the service. His house was
ever open to those of his brethren arriving from time to time at the Presidency, who most required such
friendly attention. In his demeanor towards the sick, no matter how lowly was their state, there was
an unaffected solicitude and quiet benevolence of manner, that won their confidence and affection.

Respecting his private character. The warmth of his heart, the agreeableness of his manners, and
the playfulness of his humour, together with the gentle frankness and the honesty of his nature,
endeared him to his friends. Whatever secret cares might be weighing on his mind, the cfaeerfolness
and serenity, which are such winning features of character, and give such zest to neighbourly and social
communion, never forsook him. He was therefore uniformly the same amiable and animated being, tiie
same kindly-disposed and delightful companion.

It only now remains to notice with becoming briefness, the melancholy circumstances of his last
illness and death. Towards the end of the first week in July 1830, Dr. Adam, whose health had been
in an unsatisfactory state for some time previous, was seized with ardent fever, which continued without
remission or much abatement till the 26th of the month, when hoematemesis and dysenteric pni^ging
supervened, which in three days put a period to his valuable life. Fully sensible of his danger, yet not
despairing of recovery, he settled all his worldly affairs within the first three or four days of Us ill-
ness, and then with tranciuil resignation awaited the issue. During the last week of his iUness, he
expressed a desire to converse on spiritual subjects with the Rev. Principal Mills of Bishop's College.
That gentleman made all the haste in his power to see his sick friend, but his house being at a consi-
derable distance from Calcutta some delay necessarily ensued, and when he arrived it was too late.
That intellect which was once so clear and unclouded was now dimmed by the mist of ^>pnMidung
dissolution, and on the morning of the 29th July, he ceased to live.

The Monument erected over his grave, bears the following inscription : —

THE LATE MR. BRANCH PILOT SINCLAIR.

Mr. Patrick Qeorg^ Sinclair entered the Pilot service in the year 1798, at a time when it was
recruited by any casual means, instead of, as it is now, being composed of men of respectable family
and of good education selected by the Court of Directors. Mr. Sinclair therefore, in the coarse of hi»
gervice, had witnessed an organic change in the body to which he belonged ; a change which has work-
ed as great a difference in the character, deportment, and value of the service, as it is well possible to
conceive. From being as a body, subject, but too justly, to reproach, the Pilots of the Port may
now challenge any body of men for general worth, integrity and character.

Mr. Sinclair has had the merit of passing through both these stages, not only without reproach, but
with the highest character and credit in every respect. Under the old, as under tlie new regime, he
was erer distinguished by a steadiness, zeal, ability and honesty of purpose that would have done
honour, to any individual in any situation of life.

Under the late change in the constitution of the Service, he had secured and retained to the last, the
respect and esteem of all its younger members, as well of those nearer his own standhig, while he had
always enjoyed the unabated conlidence and regard of all his superiors. In the rank of Senior Branch
Pilot, employed in the general aid of the duties of the department, as connected with the Pilotage of the
River, he has been unwearied in his exertions, and his death may be attributed to them. He left
Calcutta in perfect health, and with every prospect of long continuing to add to his claims in the
department by the exercise of his useful talents, on the 8th September 1836, for the purpose of
dtfsorily examining Channel Creek, hi connection with the projected Harbour and Railroad from that
place. On the 9th he was attacked with fever and ague, but proceeded down the river ; he was, however,
obliged to return to town, where he arrived on the morning of tlie 14th, and landed free from fever.
In die course of the day it returned, and finally caused his death at half past eleven p. m. on the 15th.

One of the last acts of his long and useful public career was that of saving the lives of the crew
and paaaengera of the late ship Windsor, He was about that time employed in the Eastern Channel in
laying a Buoy, and so arranged his movements, that he might be up in the Gasper Channel, when that
iil-fiited ship would be passing through in order that he might, if necessary, render her assistance.
Tliat act was his own, and the result showed how well-judged and considerate was his determination ;
without it, every individual on board the ship would in all probability have perished. He was in com-
mand, mild, yet firm in his conduct to those placed under his orders, while to those above him he was
nniformly respectful and obedient.

Uia dMth will long be felt as a public loss in the department in which for 38 years he had served
widi honor and credit to himself and with great advantage to the public service.

JOHN ROSS HUTCHINSON, ESQ,:;-(Late of the Bengal Civil Service.)

Mr. HnteldiiBon was bom at Stonehaven, North Britain, on tlie 29th June 1792, and very early
^ %3Se had the misfortune to lose his father ; he followed the usual elementary course observed in Scottbh
^^^lools, while his moral and religious education was under the vigilant superintendance of an excellent
^<^ther, whom his own fond pen has recorded, as the kindest, gentlest, tenderest parent, that ever lived.
^^^ 1806 be was sent to school at Aberdeen, where, after remaining some time, he received intimation

of hU having, through the exertions of his maternal uncle, been appointed to a Bengal Writership. A
provision of this kind is, to the friends of the party, truly an anxious blessing. It satisfies the present
corroding anxiety for the son, or the brother, and takes otf the edge of the passing exigency, but it has
no talismanic charm to avert the painful solicitude of the future or to lesson the weight of the doubts
and misgivings of separation that may be for all time.

Leaving the College of Hertford in May 1810, the subject of this memoir sailed for India in the
following month. He arrived in Calcutta in December, 1810. Mr. Hutchinson intently applied himself
to the cultivation of the oriental languages, and with such effect, that in about seven months he passed
hLs examination at Fort William ; and was appointed immediately afterwards to Allighur, whence he
wais directed to proceed to Mirzapore, as Register of that station. In the course of 1815, though a very
young man, he was nominated to officiate as Judge and Magistrate of Mirzapore, and during the period
of hLs incumbency, the rajah of Burdee, having made a hostile incursion into the district, Mr. Hutchin-
son accompanied the detachment of troops sent to quell the movement, and after considerable difficulties,
succeeded in concluding a treaty with the Rajah, which was highly approved of by Lord Hastings, of
which a very handsome acknowledgment was conveyed to the young functionary, through the medium
of the late Mr. Adam, then Secretary to Government. He soon acquired the confidence of the
natives, in illustration of which it is sufficient to ob.serve that when the Governor Greoeral (Lord H.)
went up the country, and after Mr. Hutchinson had left the station to take a voyage to sea, on account
of his health, the inhabitants of Mirzapore presented a memorial to his Lordship praying that he might
be continued permanently in the appointment.

In 181 G Mr. Hutchinson was compelled by ill health to proceed to the Cape of Good Hope, during
his sojourn at which place he took that important step in life upon which, at the same time that it
extends tlie basis of a man's responsibilities, tlie scheme of his purest and most rational enjoyment
mainly depends. He was singularly fortunate in the object of his choice ; his lady, with whom he had
spent twenty years of uninterrupted happiness and a family of ten children, survives to deplore the lost
of a devotedly attached husband, and an exemplary and affectionate father. It would be inconsistent
with the object of an unpretending sketch like this, to follow the subject of it through the details of
every situation he held in the public service. Suffice it that in 1821, the writer found him under his
own hospitable roof, while Judge and Magistrate of Burdwan, at the head of a happy and charming
family, beloved and reiti)ected as a member of society, and well known and appreciated as a sealous
and able functionary on whose discretion and experience great reliance might be placed. He remained
at Burdwan for the following five years, engaged in his official pursuits, and acquiring for himself that
personal consideration and weight, which a masculine understanding, conjoined with prudence and
undeviating rectitude, never fail, in due course, to secure for their possessor. In 1829, Mr. Hutchin-
son was appointed J udge of Goruckpore, which station he joined in April, but a few mondis afterwards
was nominated to officiate as Commissioner of Benares, in which appointment, after serving for some
montlis, he returned to Goruckpore. In 1838 his name appeared in orders as Conunissioner for Meerut ;
where he remained till the end of 1836, when he was gazetted to act as a Judge of Suddo* Dewanny
Adawlut. From the above simple reference to the situations which he successively held it is sufficiently
obvious that the value of his services was justly appreciated by the Government ; nor is it assuming
more than is warranted by prescription and experience to suppose, that had it pleased heaven to prolong
liis days, he would have obtained still higher office and rank. He had early formed to himself oool and
active habits of business. Accordingly, as a public officer he became remarkable for the despatdi and
methodical regularity with which he got through his official labours. His thorough knowledge of die
subject, combined with these, gave liim a facility in the performance of his duties, that soon made his
merits known as an enlightened and energetic magistrate. His temperament, no less than the strocture
of his mind and his ac(|uirements, admirably qualified him for a still more advanced sphme than the
Magistrates and the Zillah Judges, but where, alas ! it was not doomed that he should long remain.
Placid, patient, firm, no counteraction put him out, no complexity wearied him ; no subtlety or sophistry
war)>ed his judgment. To a thorough knowledge of the oriental languages, he added an intimate
acquaintance with the customs and prejudices of the natives, uo less than a generous ccmaideration for
their weakness and moral defects. Mr. Hutchinson was of middle height and slender make widi a
countenance expressive of great intelligence, inclined to a benign gravity. In disposition he was
cheerful and cordial, with a deal of quiet humour which gave an attraction to his conver8ati<m, whim he
was on intimate terms with the party. His heart was susceptible of the warmest attachments ; and
though he had many friends, it does not appeal* tliat he ever lost one. He was imbued witli a love of oar
great national poets, and often derived solace from them, and also from a taste for drawing, in which,
with more leisure, he might have excelled. He was a pious man, and his actions were monlded
habitually by the unostentatious, but deeply seated, and life-giving religion of the heart. It were aAtnt^
superfluous after this to add, that he was a most kind and benevolent master, considering hia servanti
as a part of his family, and taking a lively interest in the promotion of their welfare. That most
heavy evil, separation from wife and children, peculiar to life in India, and part of the penalty which
must be paid for a pilgrimage here in ])ursuit of a competency, preyed latterly upon his spirits, moce,
it is probable, than he chose to avow. A prolonged residence in the climate had undoubtedly affected
his constitution more seriously than might, to the superficial observer, be obvious, although no intimate
friend could help perceiving that he began to look pale and thinner than was consistent with his
average health, a state of things to which the last exhausting hot season, no doubt greatly added.

The loss of such a man to the public service, is not easily replaced, but to his family and friends is
irreparable.

Happy is the death of the righteous man ! The subject of our sketeh was taken ill with the disorder,
from which he never recovered, on the 2d of September last. He required no intimation of his approach-
ing end, for he had all along a presentiment of it. He needed no hints about setting his house in
order ; for that had been well looked to. The deep-rooted and practical piety of his life had fortified

him too habitaaUy to be disengaged at the approach of the mortal consummation, and at peace with
himself and all on earth, and fiXL of confidence in the mediation of the Saviour, and with a clieerful
resignation to the summons of his Creator, he departed this life on Sunday the 16th of September,
between nine and ten o'clock at night.

Tke following inicripiion is erected to hia memory in the South Park Street Burial Ground : —

Sacred to the Memory of

John Rosa XZatcliinaon, E<;q.

of the Bengal Civil Service ; one of the Judges of the Sudder Dewanny and Nizamut

Adawiut of Bengal, a man who in his life was endowed with a powerful and

correct judgment ; a stedfast faith in religion and the loftiest principles of integrity. With these

were happily united a refined taste and a most amiable and affectionate disposition.

He has left a beloved wife and ten children, besides an extensive circle of

attached friends to deplore his untimely loss.

Bom at Stonehaven, N. B. June 29th, 1792 ; died at Calcutta 16th September 1838.

Requiescat in pace,

MR. H. L. V. DEROZIO.

Henrj laovau Virian Deroxio was bom in Calcutta, the 10th of April 1809, and was sent to
school at the age of six years. His quickness and his progress, soon attracted the attention of his
master, Mr. David Dnimmond. Derozio was much beloved at school, both by his teachers and his school
fellows. He commenced his dallyings with the Poetic muse at a very early age. On the occasion of a
Theatre being established at the school by the boys attached to it, he wrote the prologue, and it is a
rery rare production, considering the extreme youth of the writer, and the circumstances of his educa-
tion. Literature was his sole delight, and in it, he most assuredly excelled. The Roman classics and
the Mathematics never were his favorite pursuits. He had a smattering of both these studies, but he
was not certainly an adept in either of them. Moral Philosophy was his favorite study, next however
to Poetry. He left school at the age of fourteen, and immediately entered into business. He served
for a short time in the Agency House of Messrs. J. Scott and Company, where his father occupied a
respectable post. But the Cash-book and the Licdger had no charms for him. He resigned this office,
and placed himself under his Uncle, Mr. Johnson, Indigo Planter, at Bhaugulpore. He found this
bnsxness more congenial to his temper and his disposition. Country scenes, and mountains and rivers,
mspired his fancy, kindled his imagination, and awakened poetical feelings in his souL

Hitherto Derozio had scribbled verses, but he had never submitted them for publication. It was at
this time that he courted public favor under the signature of*' Juvenis" in the columns of the India
Gazette, then conducted by Dr. John Grant. The generous Editor fostered literary worth, and
Derozio flattered and encouraged, poured forth his effusions with singular rapidity, lliese produc-
tions are not characterized by any great poetical feeling or fancy. There is a glitter of Oriental images
and a variety of ** smart conceits" in them. They bear testimony to the existence of the poetical
feeling, but nothing more. They are, to use his own words, *' lines written on the sand," — which the
swelling tide of his future fame, would have completely washed away, and left in their stead, " costly
gems and pearls of the ocean,** but it has happened otherwise. The writing is left, and we must be
content with the evidence it bears to the excellency of the hand that wrote it. It has been said, that
Derozio might have strung the harp of India to worthier strains than it has emitted, if he were not
spoUed by flattery, and that the sugar-plums of friends, and a host of admirers, Europeans and East In-
dians, had entirely vitiated his taste and deteriorated the products of his Muse. It was the fate of poor
Derozio to be as much bespattered with abuse, and exposed to envy, as he is said to have been court-
ed and flattered. In the season of his full blown reputation he was one evening going up the steps of a
house, to which he had been invited by the lady, who was for a long while the distinguished ornament
of this society, when he heard voices, and he immediately recognized the tones of the gentleman of
the house, and a poetical friend. He was announced, and these words reached his ear ; " as for Derozio,
I allow he possesses fancy, but my Khansamah possesses more judgment than he." Derozio turned
back, and never did he again visit that house.

"Die great fault with Derozio, was that he was too soon left his own master in the delightful fields of
literature. He possessed no mentor, whose superior judgment and matured understanding would have
informed bis intellect, and from the Are of his mind the slender taper of his understanding would have
borrowed light and life. Derozio gave up his soul to the writings of Moore and Byron, and L. £. L.
Tlie glittering fancies of the first, like diamonds that sparkle on the person of an Indian king, which
instead of lighting up the beauty of the countenance by their lustre dazzle the eye and destroy the effect
of the natural appearance : — the fervent and passionate outpourings of the heart of the second, that
remind his reader of the arch-fiend, Satan, impiously obstinate and dreadful in Ids revolves, at one time
uttering horrid imprecations, at another time, breathing the tenderest emotions of wounded feeling and
a subdued soul : — and the tawdry ornament of the last, like her own Ethel churchill, the heroine of a
tale, and the poorest personage of tlie whole drama, brooding over her own disappointment, and con-
veying her wrongs in language not always intelligible : — these were the writers, the pedestals of whose
fame are the Irish Melodies, Childe Harold, and the Venetian Bracelet, that had pre-occupied his soul,
and to the bewitching influence of whose writings, he was most irresi&tibly bound. How much better
for him, had his attention been directed to the volumes of Shakespear and Milton. The delineations of
human character and passion of the one, and the sober and classic muse of the other, would have con-
strained him to reflect before he sat down to%rite his thoughts. This check would have been of great
advantage to the fame and character of his writings. Notwithstanding this objection, his productions
are remarkable with advertence to the extreme youth of the writer, and the education he had received.
His acquaintance with man was not extensive, and his knowledge of nature was gathered from the plaius
of Bhaugulpore and the Rock of Jungheera.

104 SOUTH PARK STREET BURIAL GROUND.

The unexpected encouragement which Derozio received from the Editor of the India Gazette, in-
duced him to venture on the publication of his poems. Accordingly he came down to Calcntta from
Bhaugulpore, in 1826, and hurried his first volume through the press. The reception it met with
was most flattering and encouraging. In the following year, he not only reprinted his former Tolnme,
but added another ambitious poem entitled " the Fakeer of Jungheera.'' The plot of this poem is
extremely threadbare, and the merit of the poet is therefore the greater, inasmnch as he has been able
to weave so much interest around the hero and fiur heroine of the poem. The two volumes were re-
ceived by the public with g^eat approbation, and Derozio's fame was supposed by many to be firmly
established.

At this time, Derozio obtained an appointment in the Hindu College, as teacher, through the kind
Assistance of Dr. John Grant, to whom he had dedicated the first volume of his poems. Well might
it be said of Dr. Grant, that he rocked the cradle of Derozio*s genius and followed its hearse. He
told the youthful poet, when solicited for permission to inscribe the first volume to him, that he would
advise the dedication to be made to some more inf^ential person, who could promote his wel£ue in
life. But Derozio's grateful heart would not permit nim to adopt this counsel.

His career as a teacher was marked with great success. He opened the eyes of his pupils' under-
standings. He taught them to reason, and imbued their minds with a taste for poetry and literature.
His knowledge of moral Philosophy, was somewhat extensive. With great penetration, he led his seholan
through the pages of Locke, Rcid and Stewart. We do not know whether we can ofler a higher
testimony to Derozio's Metaphysical acquirements, than the opinion of the Rev. Dr. MiU» hite Principal
of Bishop's College. He avowed before a large and respectable Meeting, that tiie objections which
Derozio published to the Philosophy of Rant, were perfectly original and displayed powers of reason-
ing and observation which would not disgrace even gifted Philosophers. Derozio laboured with great
zeal for his pupil's inten^ts. He established the first Debating Society among the students of tho Hindu
College, and delivered a course of Lectures on English Poetry. He was neither a fluent nor an elo-
quent speaker, but the little that he said, contained bone and sinew, and furnished a large atock of ac-
curate information.

Many reasons have been urged in explanation of Derozio's dismissal from the Collq^e. Hie lutjoined
letter throws no light some the mystery.

We pretend to know a little more of the business than most of our contemporaries, and we will now
proceed to detail it. The questions which Derozio has answered in the following letter, and which
were adduced as charges against him, do not state the whole truth. These charges grew oat of tiie
principal reason, which has hitherto been hidden from the view of all. They were the offspring of un-
founded calumny. The Native managers of the Hindu College, were alarmed at the pr^gren which
some of tlie pupils were making under Derozio, by actually cutting their way through ham and beef,
and wading to Liberalism through tumblers of beer. From this new feature of Hindu education, the
praise or blame of which must rest on the memory of Derozio, the managers dreaded the worst oonae-
quences. To put a stop to further insight into the science of Gastronomy, Derozio was ^'wmisitfrd in
1831. This is the plain unvarnished story !

2b H. H. Wilson, Esq.

My Dear Sir, — Your letter which I received last eveningr should have been answered earlier, but
for the interference of other matters which required my attention. I beg your acceptance of this apology
for the delay, and thank you for the interest which your most excellent communication proves that yon
continue to take in me. I am sory however, that the questions you have put to me will impose upon yon
the disagreeable necessity of reading this long justification of my conduct and opinions. But I must
congratutate myself that this opportunity is afforded me of addressing so influential and distinguished
an individual as yourself, upon matters which, if true, might seriously affect my character. My friends
need not, however, be under any apprehension for me ; for myself, the consciousness of right is my
safeguard and my consolation.

1st. I have never denied the existence of a God in the hearing of any human being. If it be wrong
to speak at all upon such a subject, I am guilty, for I am neither afraid nor ashamed to confess having
stated the doubts of Philosophers upon this head, because I have also stated the solution of those doubts.
Is it forbidden any where to arg^ie upon such a question ? If so, it must be equally wrong to adduce
an argument upon either side : or is it consistent with an enlightened notion of truth to mil onrsehres
to any one view of so important a subject, resolving to close our ears and eyes against all impressions
that oppose themselves to it ? How is any opinion to be strengthened, but by completely comprehending
the objections that are offered to it, and exposing their futility ? And what have I done more than tiiis ?
Entrusted as I was for some time with the education of youth, peculiarly circumstanced, was it for bm
to have made them pert and ignorant dogmatists, by permitting them to know what could be ssid unon
only one side of gprave que^^tions ? Setting aside the narrowness of mind which such a course might
have evinced, it would have been injurious to the mental energies and acquirements of the young men
themselves, and (whatever may be said to the contrary), I can vindicate my procedure by quoting no
less orthodox an authority than Lord Bacon : — ** If a man," says this Philosopher (and no one ever had
a bettiT right to pronounce an opinion upon such matters thau he) '* will begin with certainties, he shall
end in doubts." Thi^ I need scarcely observe, is always the cose with contented ignorance, when it is
roused too lute to naught. One doubt suggests another, and universal scepticism is the consequence.
I theref(»re thought it my duty to acquaint several of the College students with the substance of
Hume's celebrated dialogue between Cleanthes and Philo, in which the most subtle and refined argu-
ments against Theism are adduced. But I have also furnished them with Dr. Reids' and Dogald
Stewart's more acute repliejt to Hume ; replies which to this day, continue unrefutcd. This Is the head
and front of my oflending. If the religious opinions of the students have become unhinged in oonae-
quen<% of the course 1 have pursued, the fault is not muie. To produce conviction in their minds was
not within my power, and if I am to be condemned for the atheism of some, let me receive credit for

SOUTH PARK STREET BURIAL GROUND. 105

the Theism of others. Believe me, My dear Sir. I am too thoroughly imbued with a deep sense of
human ignorance and of the perpetual vicissitudes of opinion, to speak with confidence even of the most
unimportant matters. Doubt and uncertainty besiege us too closely to admit the boldness of dogmatism
to enter an enquiring mind ; and far be it from me to say that " this is" and ** that is not/' when,
after the most extensive acquaintance with the researches of science, and after the most daring flight.<9
of genius, we must confess with sorrow and disappointment, that humility becomes the highest wis.
dom, for the highest wisdom assures man of his ignorance.

Your next question is *• Do you think respect and obedience to parents no part of moral duty ?"
For the first time in my life did I learn from your letter that I am charged with having inculcated so
hideous, so unnatural, so abominable a principle. The authors of such infamous fabrications are too
degraded even for my contempt. Had my father been alive, he would have repelled the slander, by
telling my calumniators that a son who had endeavoured to discharge every filial duty as I have done,
could never have entertained such a sentiment. But my mother can testify how utterly inconsistent it
is with my conduct, and upon her testimony I might rest my vindication. However, I will not stop
short there. So far from having even maintained or taught such opinion, I have always insisted upon
retpect and obedience to parents. I have indeed condemned that feigned respect which some children
evince, being hypocritical and injurious to the moral character. But I have always endeavoured to
dierish the genuine feelings of the heart, and to direct them into proper channels. Instances, however,
in which I have insisted upon respect and obedience to parents are not wanting. I shall quote two
important ones for your satisfaction, and as the parties are always at hand, you may at any time sub-
atantiate what I say. About two or three months ago, Dukhinanundun Mookerjya (who has made so
great a noise lately,) informed me that his father's treatment of him had become utterly unsupportable,
and that his only chance of escaping it was by leaving his father's house. Although I was aware of the
truth of what he had said, I dissuaded him from taking such a course, letting him know that much
should be endured from a parent, and that the world would not justify his conduct, if he left his home
without being actually turned out of it. He took my advice, though, I regret to say, only for a short
time : a few weeks ago he left his father's house, and to my great surprize, engaged anotlier in my
neighbourhood. After he had completed his arrangements with his landlord, he informed me for the
first time of what he had done, and when I asked him why he had not consulted me before he took .such
a step — ** because," replied he, ** I knew you would have prevented it." The other instance relates t**
Mohes Chunder Singh. Having recently behaved rudely to his father, and offended some of his relatives,
be called upon me at my house, with his uncle, Umacharan Bose, and his cousin, Nundolol Singh. I
reproached him severely for his contumacious behaviour, and told him until he sought forgiveness from
his father, I would not speak to him. 1 might mention other cases, but these may suffice.

"Do you think marriages of brothers and sisters innocent and allowable?" This is your third
question. " No," is my di:>tinct reply, and I never taught such an absurdity. But I am at a loss to
find out how such misrepresentations as those to which I have been exposed, have become current.
No person who has ever heard me speak upon such subjects could have circulated these untruths ; at
least I can hardly bring myself to think that one of the College students with whom I have been con-
nected could be either such a fool as to mistake every thing I ever said, or such a knave as wilfully to
mistake my opinions. I am rather disposed to believe that weak people who an; determined upon
being alarmed, and finding nothing to be frightened at, have imputed these follies to me. That I
aboidd be callfdi a sceptic and an in^del Ls not surprizing, as these names are always given to persons
wbo dare think for themselves in religion ; but I assure you that the imputations which you say are
alleged against me, I have learned for the first time from your letter, never having dreamed that
sentiments so opposed to my own, could have been ascribed to me. I must trust, therefore, to your
generosity to give the most unqualified contradiction to these ridiculous stories. I am not a greater
monster than most people ; though I certainly should not know myself, were I to credit all that is said
of me. I am aware that for some weeks some busy bodies have been manufacturing the most absurd
and groundless stories about me, and even about my family. Some fools went so far as to say that my
ttiter, ^hUe others said that my daughter (though I have not one) was to have been married to a Hindoo
young man ! ! ! I traced the report to a person named Bindabun Ghosal, a poor Brahmin, who lives
by going from house to house to entertain the inmates with the news of the day, which he invariably
intenti. However, it is a satisfaction to reflect, that scandal, though often noisy, is not everlasting.

Now that I have replied to your questions, allow me to ask you, my dear Sir, whether the expediency
of yidding to popular clamour can be offered in justification of the measures adopted by the native
managers of the College towards me ? their proceedings certainly do not record any condemnation of
me, but does it not look very like condemnation of a man's conduct and character to dismiss him troui
office when popular clamour is against him .' Vague reports and unfounded rumours went abroad
OQDoendng me : the native managers have confirmed them by acting towards me, as they have done.
Ry5«wft my saying it, but I believe there was a determination on their part to get rid of me, not to
latiafy popular cliunour, but their own bigotry. Had my religion and morals been investigated by them
tiiey could have no groimds to proceed against me : they therefore thought it most expedient to make
no enquiry, but witii anger and precipitation to remove me from the institution. The slovenly manner
in which tiicy hare done so is a sufficient indication of the spirit by which they were moved, for in their
rage* they have forgotten what was due even to common decency. Every person who has heard of the
way in which they have acted, is indignant ; but to complain of their injustice, would be paymg them a
greater compliment than they deserve.

In concluding this address, allow me to apologize for its inordinate length, and to repeat my thanks
for all that you have done for me in the unpleasant affair by which it had been occasioned.

I remain, my dear Sir, your's sincerely,
(Signed) H. L. V. Dsnozio.

SOUTH PARK STREET BURIAL GROUND.

It was now that Derosio, who htd for tome time ptst been Uie Sub-Editor of the huiui OaietU,
had aasiiited certain students of the College in publishing a periodical entitled '* Tke Brnquirtr,*' and had
conducted a small evening paper, the Hetperui, came to the resolution of establishing a large dailj
paper, the Ea$t Indian, He called upon his countrymen to assist him, and thej responded to his call.
Poor Derozio was, however, never a popular Editor.

Derozio was arrested in the midst of his labours by the hand of death. He died of Cholera Morbus,
on the 23d December, 1831, in the 22d year of his age. He lingered full six days, and hopes were
entertained by some of his friends, that his life would be spared. But it had been decreed otherwise.
He was attended in his illness by Drs. Tytler and Grant ; the latter gentleman came daily to see him,
and read to him passages from the second Book of the " Pleasures of Hope.'' On the Sunday preceding
his death, the late Mr. J. W. Ricketts, the distinguished Blast Indian, called to see him, to him I>tfono
expressed a wish to see the Rev. James Hill, whose eloquence had before touched his heart. The Rer.
Gentleman came, and it is consolatory to remark, that, in his last moments, Deroiio coniiened Uiat he
was a christian, and he died a believer in the saving faith of Jesus Christ. His career was abort
but glorious !

Derozio's admiring countr3rmen met after his death, to consider of the erection of a pennaiiciit
memorial of their affection and regard for his memory. The sum of money collected for a Monoment
over his grave was about 800 rupees. This amount was misappropriated, and Deroiio's grave is now
undistinguished among the crowded tombs of the Park Street Cemetery.

In private life, Derozio was much beloved. He was an aifectionate son, a kind brother, and a warm
friend. He was very lively and humorous. We confidently state that anger was never teen to doud
his brow. Ail was sunshine with him. As a teacher, he won the affections of his pupils. Nerer was
he known to speak rudely to them. If he wished any of them to keep out of his way his usual language
was, '* My dear boy, you are not transparent."

In conversation he was brilliant. He loved to discourse on, —

•* Fate, freewill, foreknowledge absolute,"
and on this subject he was superficial and arrogant. He is now nearly forgotten. We understand
that his writings have been published, and we sincerely hope that the writings of this man of genins will
not be lost, but that they will preserve his name for some years to come.

Indebted to nature for a mind firm to benevolence
and alive to the best feelings of the heart,
this excellent man passed through life in ihe
habitual exercise of every social virtue, artless ;
unassuming, and modest in his deportment ;
mild, forbearing, and considerate in his temper.
Incapable of harbouring, as of uttering an
uncharitable thought, and prompt in the
performance of every good action.
He was eminently distinguished for piety to God,
unblemished integrity and true Christian charity,

benevolent to man. It was said of him,
tliat he never made an enemy and never lost a
friend, and as he left none of die duties of life un-
performed, so his exemplary and endearing conduct
to those with whom he was connected,
rendered him to them an object of the most
unbounded affection. In the bitterness of grief,

under the pressure of a loss so irretrievable
they will seek consolation where alone it is to be

found, in the promises of the Gospel :
** He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet
shall be live, and whosoever liveth and believfth
in me shall never die.''

May truly say, here lies an honest man.

Which Jesus died to save,
Thro' whose atoning blood and love
We all must pardon crave.

Now I am the youngest thou art gone
Yet first may follow thee. — Abercromby.

O best of wives, O dearer far to me than when

thy virgin charms were yielded to my arms ;

(But for your lovely pledges)

How can my soul endure the losa of thee.

Yes, my Anna, thy breast was the mansion uf

goodness and you suspected no evil in others :

your prudence of management was an honor

to me, and I heard your praise with secret

delight. Happy thy Eby who made thee his wife,

Happy our dear babes who called thee Maminii.

Oh may each passer bye, the lesson learn.
Which can alone the bleeding heart sustain ;
(Where friendship weeps at virtue's funeral urn,)
That to the pure in heart to die is. gain.

youth, he had by a just and wise government

eminently rdsed the British name and

conquered people, for the public good,
readily sacrificing his personal comforts.

By death's resistless hand.

Which pity must demand ;

But why bemoan departing friends

Or shake at death's alarms,

'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends

To call them to his arms.

Why then their loss deplore, they are not lost

Why wanders wretched thought their tombs around

All, all on earth is shadow

All beyond is substance,

How ])opulous ! How vital is the grave !
This is creation's melancholy vault.
This is the desert, this the solitude ;
The land of apparitions, empty shades,
How solid all where change shall be no more.

The charms with which her mind was blest.

Until the final trump shall sound.
Thy God for thee shall soon appear.
And raise thy form with radiance crown'd.

Waa free from terrors, and without a groan ;
Thy spirit to himself th' Almighty drew.
Mild as His sun exhales the ascending dew.

You who from sympathy or sorrow.
Shall roam these mansions of the sainted dead.
Pause to lament Maria's early bier.
With patient grief that loves the lingering tear
Forgive you must to virtues of a friend,
And weep if pity has a tear to lend.
Tlien yonder thus ere nature sunk to rest.
When her departing breath her joy expressed,
When her last look, ere thought and feeling

fled,
A mingled gleam of hope and triumph shed.
What to her soul its glad assurance gave ;
Its hope in death, its triumph o'er the grave ;
The sweet remembrance of each spotless day,
Hush'd all her doubts and shew'd to heaven
the way ;
This truth confess'd, pray humbly at his sliriue
That her eternal raptures may be thine.

But with her husband her name will never die.
Who to this grave will yearly tribute pay
Of tears uufeign'd upon her dying clay.
Like her, O reader, live, like her, be bless'd.
Who every happy ([uality possessed ;
Those tender charms, that sweeten social life,
Each Christian grace with moral virtue joined,
Adorn 'd her breast, and honoured her mind ;
Her life was an example to the wise.
Her death an acquisition to the skies ;
To name her virtues ill befits my grief,
What was my bliss, can now give no relief.
A husband mourns, the rest let friendship tell.
Fame spread her worth, a husband knew it well.
Death takes the good, too good on earth to stay,
And leaves the bad, too bad to take away.

This Mounment to his most dear and
affectionate and best of wives was erected by her
disconsolate husband.

late Surgeon of H. M. 8th Regt. of Royal Irish

Regiments of Dragoons and of the line, was basely

thers, whom he has left in India to regret the loss
of his manly virtues and blameless life.

In this grave are deposited, with those of her
in&nt daughter, the mortal remains of
Helen PhOsdelpliia,
the wife of James Grant, a Captain in the 17th
Dragoons, aged only eighteen yean end some
months. She was almost without a warning
called to heaven. How many die as sudden, how
few as safe ; while her blessed spirit is in per-
fect joy, she has left one disconiolate to mourn,

sjid be the true recorder of those merits
that attracted her to God himself; she possessed
every virtue that can adorn the human heart,
and was distinguished among her sex for gentle-
ness and modesty of manners. Such was her

conscious innocence, tbat she would often

contemplate death and by her well grounded

faith in the Almighty, dispel those terrors over

which she has so early triumphed.

Why then their loss lament, that are not lost ;
Why wanders wretched thought their tombs arouiul

in infidel distress,
They live, they greatly live a lifb on earth
Unkindled, unconceived ; and teom an eye
Of tenderness, let heavenly pity £U1
On me, more justly remembered with the dead.
This is the desert, this the solitude :
How populous ; how vital is the grave ;
This is Creation's melandkoly vaidt.
The vale funeral, the sad cypreas gloom.
The land of apparition's empty shades ;
All, all on earth is shadow, all beyond^ is sab-
stance ;
How solid all, where change shall be no more.

l^ORTH PARK STREET BURIAL GROUND 187

THOMAS DUPRE PORCHER, ESQ.— a^/# of the Honorable Company's Bengal Civil Service,

and a partner in the firm ofMeun, Alexander and Co.

A young man of uncommon endowments ; to a mind active, intelligent, and adorned with all the
graces of ornamental literature, he added at the early age of twenty-four, an acuteness of discernment
aad a strength and soundness of judgment, seldom surpassed by those of riper years ; under all these
circomstanoes of mental superiority (so frequently productive of envy,) his genuine modesty and cheer-
fdl sweetness of disposition and manners in private society, rendered him equally beloved, as admired
by all who knew him.

The following is the inscription taken from his Monument :

Sacred to the Memory of Thomas Dupre Porcher,

a fsctor in the Service of the Honorable East India Company on their Bengal Establishment,

and Member of the mercantile firm of Alexander & Co. ; a yonng man of eminent virtues and endowments.

Mr. Porcher arrived in Bengal in the year 1806, at the early age of seventeen,

and though from that period till his death a great portion of his time was necessarily devoted

to the laborious details of a mercantile life, he had nevertheless found leisure to cultivate

his mind to a degree not often attained even by those who follow literature as a profession ; to a quick

and happy perception, and ardent flow of spirits ; and a just relish for every rational pleasure,

he united an understanding singularly clear, candid and manly. He was endeared to

his intimates by the most amiable manners, a sweetness of temper which no change could ruffle, and

an active benignity of disposition, of which few were long near him without experiencing the

effects his loss has been not less generally felt, than deeply lamented, society has been deprived in

him, of one of its best ornaments and hopes, while those who were connected with him by closer ties

have to mourn a friend of whom it may be truly and emphatically said that he was made to be loved.

DR. WILLIAM PITT MUSTON.

Dr. Mnston arrived in Bengal and was appointed to the Medical Establishment of that Presidency
on the 25th of August IbOl, and immediately put on duty at the General Hospital ; whence he was
detached in charge of European Recruits, commanded by Captain Ronald Cameron of His Majesty's
7l8t Regiment of Foot, with which he arrived at Cawnpore in 1802, and was then transferred to the
General Hospital at that place. He marched thence as Senior Assistant of the Field Hospital, attached
to the grand army under his Excellency Greneral Lake, Commander-in-Chief ; and, as is well known,
conducted himself so entirely to the satisfaction of the Field Surgeon, Dr. Peter Cochrane (whose time
was scarcely equal to the duties of the Purveying Department) that he confided the Medical and Sur-
gical arrangements to him. In this important situation he served at the battle and capture of Allighur ;
at the battle of Delhi ; at the occupation of Agra, and the defeat of the enemy at Laswaree ; subse-
quent thereto, His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief obtained from Lord Wellesley the appointment
for him of Medical Store Keeper at Cawnpore ; but on the retreat of Colonel Monson's detachment,
he was, at the request of the Field Surgeon, and with ready concurrence, ordered by the Com-
mander-in-Chief to leave his staff appointment and to resume his duties in the Field Hospital ; where
the whole of his allowances amounted to less than 200 Rs. But to make up for this sacrifice his friend
and patron, the Field Surgeon bestowed upon him the emoluments of his own regimental charge as
Surgeon of Artillery, an allowance that more than compensated for it. From that time, he was
employed in charge of the Artillery Battalion, and as Senior Assistant in the Field Hospital. He
served in those situations at the battle and capture of Deig ; also at the memorable siege and storming
of Bhurtpore in 1805 ; and in reward for his services Mr. Muston was appointed by the Commander-
in-Chief, Lord Lake, to the 25th Native Infantry, where he would be the Senior Medical officer of
the force under the command of Colonel Bowie, about to be employed against the state of Gopud.
Dr. Muston was present at the repulse of the enemy's attack on our trenches by sortie, and after the
capture of the fortress, he remained with that force as Senior Medical Staff during the whole period
it was there employed, and until new political arrangements in 1806, occasioned its breaking up. In
that camp he was without Medicine, and in charge of 1,500 sick, for the treatment of whom, he
relied, and with complete success, on the Materia Medica of the Gwalior Bazar. Having at this time,
in September 1807, suffered greatly in health, and being threatened also with the loss of the sight of
one eye, which he never entirely recovered ; he went home ; and on his return to his duty in Nov.
1809, he was unfortunately captured in the *' Charlton,'' East Indiaman, at the entrance of the Bay of
Bengal, together with the " Windham," and *• United Kingdom," by the French Frigates " La Venus,"
&nd " La Manche" and a Corvette. On his arrival in Calcutta he had the satisfiiction to hear from the
Adjutant General, now Sir Henry Worsley, Baronet, that his services were still in remembrance. Feb.
3d, 1810, he was posted to the 2d Batt. 8th, but being disappointed in his application to Lord Minto,
the then Governor General, to be fixed at the General Hospital, from a peculiar claim, attached to
Mr. Assistant Surgeon Simon Nicobon's having been a pupil of Sir Everard Home's, he unfortunately
(quitted the Military line 2d June 1810 and having obtained from Lord Minto the situation of Civil
Assistant Surgeon of the district of Sahrun, he embarked in trade with the hope of retrievmg the
losses occasioned by his capture. On his return (at his own application) to the Military line of the
service (in Nov. 1813) he was directed to join the I8th Native Infiantry, under the command of
Colonel N. I. Smith, then on its march from Benares.

The Surgeon who had been summarily removed having been re-appointed, Mr. Muston was posted
in April 1814, at his own request, to his old corps, the 25th Native Infontry, commanded by Major
r. P. Smith, and on his promotion, which took place soon after, he witiidrew his application for leave
af absence on private affairs, and proceeded with it to join the force under General Marley, against
the Nipalese.

In 1814-15, upon the attack on our out-posts at Periah Gburree and Sambulpore, he wai called on
by the Superintending Surgeon to make the necessary arrangements, and was sent in charge of the
wounded tu Bettiah ; wliere he established a Field Hospital in the rear of the division. From the
exposure of the wounded, many of whom died, being three days without tents on the march from
Camp to Bettiah, ui the month of December, and in siglit of the enemy, he was led to invent a Dooly»
calculated to remedy the evil, and to be useful also in the progress of the troops through the hilly
countries of Nipnl. It was made up at his own expense and approved of by the then Adjutant
General^ Colonel George Fagan ; but was not recommended by the Military Board, before whom the
drawings were laid. On the following year, having been appointed to the 30th N. I. on the raising of
that corps, under Major Robert Latter, the same post, as Surgeon in charge of the Field Hospital at
Bettiah, was again assigned to him by Sir David Ochterlony, Bart, when Lieut—Col. W. Watson, after-
wards Adjutant General of the army, was at the head of his staff. After his services in these cam-
paigns, he was honored by tlie Governor General, Lord Hastings, in February 1816, on being nominat-
ed Civil Surgeon of the city of Patna. His successful treatment during the ravages of the Cholera was
remarkable. When Dr. John Tytler was his Assistant at the above station, in 1818-19, his general
practice in tlie Epediiiiic Cholera cases was the most successful at the time, and after til that has been
written, it stands unshaken. His conduct at Patna, when called onto act out of the doe coarse of his
professional duties plunged him into great troubles and difficulties, both unavoidable and unforeseen, to
which may be attributicd the many cavils that have since been thrown out against him ; bat under what-
ever circumstances in life he was })laced, a conviction and consciousness (of which nothing ooald depme
him) of having faithfully discharged his duty, brought him much happiness and satisfiaction. In spite of
his important services Mr. Muston suffered under the bane of injured reputation and mined fortanes ;
but his zeal and steady devotion to his duties as a faithful servant of the Honourable Company, were not
damped or diverted from their legitimate course.

Six long years intervened between the period of his removal from Patna, and the receipt of the Hon-
ourable Court's doci:>ion thereon in May 13th, 1824, but the favors he received in the interim from the
Marquis of Hastings, under whose Government he had suffered, together with the flattering expression
recorded by the Honourable Court, of his professional ability, and personal integrity, were of great
comfort to him under this affliction, having assurances that the attempt to itgure him had irretrievably
failed, and that his cliaractcr stood well with his Lordship and with the supreme Audioritiei at home.
In October 1820 he was appointed a Presidency Surgeon, and in a few months afterwards, was nominat-
ed to officiate also as Garrison Surgeon, in the absence of Dr. J. Swiney on sick leave, and shortly
afterwards Lord Hastings appointed him to the Medical charge of the Marine Rqpstry office, which
interfering with his other duties, he voluntarily begged to resign. On the establishment of a School for
the education of native Doctors, he considered the subject as of great importance, and upon the death of
Dr. Jamescm, solicited the superintendence of that institution, and proposed teaching the p1^>ils in Eng-
lish. On the nth November 1825 Mr. Muston, in addition to his office as Presidency Sargeon, was
appointed by Lord Amherst to succeed Dr. Swiney as Surgeon to the Garrison of Fort William, and
in April 1826 he was appointed by his Lordship Apothecary to the Honorable Company and ex-officio
Opium Examiner ; appointments which he held for upwards of seven years. In his capacity of Opium
Examiner, he, in a letter addressed to Lord William Bentinck, 21st January 1830, laid before His Lord^ip
a statement, in which was shown that had a suggestion of his been acted upon by the Opium Board, a
profit of 24 lacs of Rupees, by an improvement in the manufacture of the Malwa Opium, would have
accrued to the State. In fine, on the 23rd of May 1833 Mr. Muston was appointed Superintending
Surgeon, and on the departure for Europe of Mr. Surgeon Mar^owell, Senior Member of the Medical
Board, he was duly recommended by the Commander of the Forces, General Watson, C. B. to succeed
to the vacant seat. Tliis however was kept open until the arrival of the orders of the Court of Direc-
tors, during which time, although entitled by the General Orders of the Grovemor General in Council, to
the enjoyment of the higher appointment, was continued in the inferior grade, through which he had
passed, for a period of eight months. Added to professional talent, his literary attainments were oft
very high order ; he edited the Scottnnanj a paper which was raised on the ruins of the celebFated
Calcutta Journal.

But towards the close of Mr. Muston's professional career, the Apothecaryship to the East India
Company was taken from him, in a way that reflected any thing but credit on those opposed to him.
After being deprived of this appointment, and put to great mental and pecuniary distress, he proceeded
to England and obtahied from the Court of Directors that justice which seems to have been withheld
fVom him here. He was restored to his appointment, but ere he could enjoy it and retrieve his losatt,
death suddenly terminated his earthly and chequered career. A few days previous to Uiis lamented
event, Mr. Muston received intelligence of the fall of a son, in the desperate conflict between the Carl-
ists and British troops, in the field gallantly performing his duty ; this would doubtless assuage grief for
such a loss, but notwithstanding sorrow would still have a way in the parental bosom, and aggravate the
malady under which Mr. Muston sunk.

HONORABLE F. J. SHORE.— (Late Commissioner of Saugor and the Nerbuddah Territories).

The Hon'ble Francis John Shore was in every respect an honor to the Bengal CitU Serrice, which
he entered in 1818. He was the second son of the Rt. Hon. Lord Teignmouth, for many years and till
his deadi, a member of the Board of Controul, but who is better known as Sir John Shore, Bart., the
honest and able successor to be venerated Lord Comwallis in the high office of Goremor General of
India, which he filled from 1793 till relieved by Lord Wellesley in 1798.

The Hon'ble Mr. F. J. Shore was an enthusiastic in his profession. From the beginning of his
creditable career, and when young men of his service and at his age are not in general apt to think
very deeply on the rcAl nature and objects of their high vocation, he seized and through lUe chug to
the doctrine, not then in vogue so much as at present, that the English hold India as a sacred tnut for
the benefit of the governed as well as of the governor.

Tlie interest and benefit of the people among whom his lot was cast and over whom he was placed,
may be said to have been his truly honorable ruling passion strong in death. Not C(mtent with evindng
this by his practical love of justice, his zeal, courage, and singular activity in the discharge of his duty
in Civil, and we might indeed add in Military, employment, he devoted the scarce leisure of some of the
last years of his valuable life to the composition of a series of able and stirring letters, addressed to his
great object of interesting his countrymen and fellow-servants in the fiites and fbrtnnes of tiie people
of India, who are so dependent on the character of their rulers. These letters bore the signatare of ** A
Friend of India," and appeared in the " India Gazette'' and, '^ Hnrkara." They excited, as they deaerv-
ed, mut^i attention, in the very highest quarters ; but the author could not be prevailed on to discover
himself at the time by any temptation of professional reward, judging rightly that his secret, which
was long and well ke{>t, was the best safeguard for his own independence in ^e emission of opini<His
upon men and things which, however, they might be erroneous occasionally or unpalatable to men in
power, were thoroughly honest, unrestrained, and could not be suspected of undue bias.

His remains were interred in tlie North Park Street Burial Ground and the following Inscription is
taken from his Monument : —

Sacred to the Memory of the Honorable Frederick John Shore,
2d son of the Rt. Hon'ble Lord Teignmouth, born 31st May 1799, died 29th May 1837.

ROBERT McCLINTOCK, ESQ.

Mr. McClintock came to India in the year 1796, and soon after, we believe, entered on hb career as
a Merchant and Agent, as a partner in the house of Alexander and Co. We next find him as member of
the firm of Macintosh, Fulton and McClintock ; some time after which, he returned to England ; and in
the year 1813, sent out as a present, at the cost of about 10,000 Rupees, the handsome Chanddierand
brass sconces which adorn the old Cathedral of St. John, of which he was for many years a Warden.
After remaining in Europe for some time Mr. McClintock returned to India and establiidied the house of
McClintock, Morton and Co. which was unsuccessful, and involved the subject of this notice in diflS-
culties, from which he never recovered. In private life, the deceased was a model of the Christian
gentleman ; mild, unassuming, meek, kind, liberal, and generous, yet methodical and shrewd. Asa
man of business his character was unimpeachable, and his memory will long be respected by those who
had opportunities of knowing him, both in prosperity and adversity. The one did not unduly exalt,
nor the other depress him, but in both he preserved that equable temperament which resulted from a
mind strongly imbued with religious feeling and accommodating itself to all the dispensations to which
it was subjected, in the course of a long, honourable, and useful life.

Tliere was something very singular in his manners ; a short time prior to his death, he proceeded,
apparently in good health, but very infirm, to the Park Street Burial Ground and sdected the spot which
was shortly af&rwards to be the receptacle of his remains, and ordered a Puckah Brick Vault to be built
there ; when that was done he went again to see the spot accompanied by his native molly, (gardener),
whom he ordered to plant flowers round the grave ; his next step was to oall for a funeral cani or notice
of his intimate friend Mr. W. F. Clark, who died a few months previously, and a day or two afterwards
sent for the minister, and after partaking of the rites of the holy sacrament, at his private residence in
Chowringhee, the next day intelligence of his demise was received, and the funeral card before alluded to,
was handed to the Undertaker, corrected in Mr. McClintock's own hand, to regulate his own funeral
obsequies by.

The following inscription is inscribed on his monument : —

Sacred to the Memory of Robert McClintock, Esq.
who died in Calcutta August 28th, 183C, aged 67 years.

WILLIAM AUGUSTUS BURKE, Esq. M. D.

The following inscription is inscribed on his monument :—

Sacred to the Memory of IVilliam Ang^nstoB Burke, Esq. M. D.
Inspector General of Hospitals of His Majesty's Forces in the Elast Indies, who departed this life

at Calcutta on the 22d day of May 1837, aged 68 years.

The lone: and distinguished services of Dr. Burke, whose life was principally passed in actire duty
in the foreign and Colonial possessions of Great Britain, merit a durable record, and it is to be
regretted, that so few memorials remain of the high esteem in which he was desemdly held by the
Governments under whom he served, and by all to whom he was known. He was upwards of 40 years
in His Majesty's Service, as a Medical Officer of the regular army, and passed through every .grade with

the highest distinction. He entered the Army as an Hospital Mate on the 13th Sept. 1795, and on the
29th Sept. of the same year was appointed Regimental Surgeon to the 37th Rcgt. — Apothecary to the
forces on the 7th Sept. 1801, — Surgeon to the forces on the 12th Dec. 1802, and Deputy Inspector of
Hospitals on the 19tli July 1805. From this period until 1817, his career is unknown to the Registrar
of ^ Supreme Court, who has thought it his duty not to permit services so valuable to his country
to remain unnoticed on his Monument. On the 24th June 1817, he was appointed Physician General,
and chief of the Medical Department in the Mauritius and its dependencies. On leaving that Island
to proceed to Bengal, he received from the Members of the Civil Service of that Colony, a piece of
plate with a suitable Inscription, commemorating the sense entertained by them of the urbanity,
kindness, and talent by which he was so eminently distinguished. On the 5th October 1825, he was
appointed Inspector General of Hospitals to HLs Majesty's Forces in the East Indies, in which emi-
nent post he remained until his death. In the course of his long and arduous service in the last war,
he was present at the capture of nearly all the French and Dutch Colonies in the West Indies and the
continent of South America, and was engaged in various parts of the continent of Europe, in
nearly til the early campaigns. He served in all parts of the Mediterranean ; was long stationed at
Gribraltar, and while there was specially deputed by. General Ottara, the Govenior, to attend the
Emperor of Morocco as a Physician, and for that purpose visited his dominions. He was present at
the capture of Bhurtpore by Lord Combermere, since which last event, the long peace which has
reigned in British India afforded no occasion for the exercise of his more active energies in the field,
and his labours were thenceforward devoted to the less brilliant but not less useful task of superin-
tending the health of the Army, and by wise regulations alleviating the dangers of the climate.

He was a good man, and the Soldier's friend, and as a Military Physician his name deserves to be
ranked witii the most celebrated of his cotemporaries.

CUDBERT THORNHILL. ESQ.— {Late Master Aitendatit of the Port of Calcutta.)

Mr. Thomhlll died at Calcutta, on Thursday, the 2l8t September 1809, and in the 86tb year of his
age. He was resident in India some time before the taking of Calcutta by Surajah Dowlali in 1756.
He was present during the greater part of that unfortunate scene ; — with several other Europeans he
soogfat shelter in the English shipping, then at Fulta, and thus fortunately escaped the dreadful
catastrophe of the Black Hole. Captain Thronhill had traded to almost every part of India, and at
Judda, a port in the Red Sea, he became acquainted with Mr. Bruce, the celebrated Abyssinian
Traveller, by whom he is honourably mentioned in his works. He was nominated Master Attendant
in 1785, and held that appointment till April 1808. His remains were interred on the following
evening, and were attended to the grave by a crowd of respectable mourners. The whole of the
Marine establishment attended the funeral, which was conducted with great decorum and good order.
All the vessels in the harbour, both Foreign and British, joined the Honorable Company's Marine
vessels, in lowering their colours half-mast, in token of respect to the memory of the deceased.

The following inscription is inscribed on his monument: —

To the Memory of Captain Cudbert Thorahill.
who for many years held the office of Master Attendant at this Port, and in the zealous discharge
of the duties of that situation gave equal satisfaction to the Government and to the
persons under his authority, who respected him for his virtues and were attached to him by experience
of his amiable disposition and constant beneficence. It pleased God to bestow upon him a
long life which was distinguished by exemplary piety and charity, and to remove him at the age of
6 years, from this transitory world in the full assurance that however unworthy in
himself, he should through Christ his Redeemer be raised again froiA death to the blessings of
eternity He died on the 21st September, A. D. 1809, esteemed, beloved and lamented
not only by his afflicted family and friends, but by all who had the happiness of knowing him. His
unfeigned humility would not allow him to adopt the following words of the apostle E]>is.
to the Phil. chap. 4, verse 9. But his children, who lived with him to the hour of his decease,
may be allowed to use them in this memorial of their filial affection and reverence : —
*' Those things which ye have both learned and received and heard and seen in me, do, and the God
of peace shall be with you.''

Heaven which circumscribed his rising virtues
was yet beneficent in its gift of them, granting
to his mind capacity of knowledge ; to his temper,
meekness ; to his heart, benevolence, piety,
and the warmest affections. These attributes,
which adorned and animated the short period
of his life, moulder not with these frail remains,
bat have still a living influence in the breast
of all who knew him, and most in her's whose gra-
titude has raised this tributary pile to a loved
nephew, and inscribes this feeble record of
his virtues and her affections.

Dr. J. R. \OS.-^(iMe Police Surgeon.)

Dr. JaiobuB Reiuier Vos, was born at Middleburg in Zealand, on the 24th of Au^st 1785.
He vf'M appointed to a ship, as Surgeon in the Dutch Service, in 1802. His first religious impressiona
arose from un individual on board the ves.sel conversing with him on religious subjects. In the year
1801, he landed on tliese shores, and was a sojourner in this country 32 years. The fonner part of
that period he spent in the practice of his profession at Chinsurah ; during the latter 13 years, he dis-
charged his professional duties in this city. In the course of his lengthened career he obtained a good
report, and di.<«played many traits of character, which it would be well for all to imitate. With some of
these he was endowed by nature ; for others he was indebted to the influence of piety ; among the
many which were naturid but strengthened by piety, was his disinterested benevolence ; no claim was
ever presented to him which gave promise of good, without meeting with his cordial support. In the
sick chamber his anxiety for the future welfare of his patients manifested itself. Without alarming he
would introduce the most important topic, and direct the dying to Christ. He was not only the early
associate of Missionaries, but was himself a Missionary. He was one of the first to open his door to
our Missionaries when Missions were ley^s ])opular than now. That trait in his character which will be
most admired by the good, was his desire to lay all his talents and services at the feet of Jesus and
trust himself as a poor helpless sinner on the Rock of Ages.

The following Inscription is placed on his Monument : —

To the Memory of Jacobus Reinier Vos, M. D. born at Middleburg in Zealand,

on the 2 Uh o( August 1785, died in Calcutta on the 15th of May 1836.

Shch d to the Memory of Nathaniel John Salhed, F.sq.
Judge of the Court of Sudder Dewanny and Nizamut Adawlut, who after a lingering and painful

51st year of his age, deeply lamented by his numerous family and r^retted
by the many friends who esteemed and loved him.

NATHANIEL JOHN HALHED, ESQ,^(lMte Judge of the Court of Sudder Dewamny and

Nizamut Adawlut.)

The name of llalhcd is one that must ever be dear to Indian Philanthropists. His fiither, the early
friend and associate of Sheridan, came out to this country in the Civil Service, during Mr. Hastings'
administration, and applied himself to the study of the Bengalee language, in which he attained such
a remarkable proficiency that within less than six years, he presented the public with a Grammar of
that language, the first of the kind ; and moreover, so excellent in character, that all the efforts of sub-
sequent philologists, have not cast into the shade. The Bengalee types used in printing the Grammar,
were cut with his own hands. Mr. Halhed, subsequently publbhed a code of GentooLaws, and even-
tually returned to his native land.

His son, whose Monumental Inscription is above recorded, acquired under his fiither's tuition such
a knowledge of the Coloquial Bengalee hmguage, as to be almost without a rival TTie late Dr. Carey
used to consider him the first vernacular Bengalee scholar in the country.

Mrs. Turner was one of the oldest members of the OKI Church Congregation ; and one of the last
connecting links of the Heavenly-minded Christiana of David Brown's time. Early called to the
kTiowled«:e of the truth, as appears from an interesting journal she was accustomed to keep, we see
her first dedicating herself to Go<1 in solemn covenant in nearly the terms recommended by Dr. Dodd-
ridge, in his Rise and Progrci^s of Religion, chap. xvi. The document is dated so far back, in her own
handwriting, as September 1810. The affecting addition is added by her : — '* I hope and trust, oh God,
that thou wilt enable me through Christ to peruse this paper once every month to put me in mind of my
solemn transactions with thee ; and may this engagement through tlie influence of thy Holy Spirit
entirely wean my affections from the perishing things of this world, to be fixed on those blessed things
above. T ask these ble^issings in the name and through the merits of thy dear s(m Jesus Christ my
blessed Redeemer, Amen." E. T.

It is evident from her journals, and her holy walk, that she never lost sight of this solemn coyenant.
God accepted the dedication, and she has been enabled to go on from strength to strength in the paths
of peace. She had preserved her christian integrity and consistency to the time of her dmth, which took
place on Tuesday the 16th of November 1841, after a very short illness.

The following tMcription is on her monument : —

CIRCULAR ROAD BAPTIST CHAPEL.

REV. JOHN CHAMBERLAIN.

Jobn Chamberlain was bom at Welton, in Northamptonahire, on the 24th of Jaly 1777, of
poor but induBtrious parents. They appear to have accustomed him to an early attendance at the house
of God, and to an acquaintance with his blessed word. It is not surprising, therefore, that he should
hare been the subject of religious impressions at an early age. In the spring of 1795, at the age of
18 years, he had reason to hope the important change, without which the Saviour himself assures us,
no man can enter into the kingdom of God, was effected. At the age of 19 he was baptised by Mr.
Simmons at Guilsborough.

On account of the delicate state of his health, his father had been induced to alter his intention of
bringing him up to some mechanical employment and to select for him the business of a farmer, upon
which he entered at the early age of 1 2 years. It was whilst following this occupation that his atten-
tion became directed to Missions ; first, by hearing of the Baptist Missionaries, Thomas and Carey ;
and secondly by reading the periodical accounts, and the sermons preached at the formation of the Lon-
don Missionary Society. His worthy master, Mr. Haddon, perceiving the turn his mind had taken,
used his influence, and was successful in getting him ** accepted as a probationer for Missionary
undertakings by the Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society." After about a year's study at
Olney, under Mr. Sutcliff, he was sent to Bristol Academy, where he continued till January 1802.

During the whole period of this course of preparation for his important work, Mr. Chamberlain
studied with the greatest diligence, often spending no less than nineteen hours a day in literary pur-
suits. He did not however neglect either private devotion or public services. As to the former,
besides perusing many of the best devotional books, he was accustomed to read fifteen chapters from
the Bible, and also to engage in prayer five or six times every day. With regard to the latter, he was
zealous in visiting the meanest and most degraded parts of the city, that he might preach the Gospel to
the poor ; and his efforts were much blessed in the conversion of sinners.

In April 1802, Mr. Chamberlain was publicly ordained in London as a Missionary ; and in May
sailed for Calcutta via America, having first been united in marriage to Miss Hannah Smith of Wal-
grave. After a short sojourn in America, they proceeded on their voyage, and arrived at Serampore
on the 27th of January 1803. Here at the age of 26, he commenced his Missionary career. His
application was such, that " by a happy mixture of exercise with study, he soon overcame the diffi-
culties of the language ; and in about a year, was able to preach the Gospel with confidence.''

In May 1804, be first went to Cutwa, and spent two solitary months in necessary preparations for
his residence there. After some opposition from the natives, he succeeded in procuring about '* two
acres of land, pleasantly situated by two tanks, and a fine grove of Mango-trees, at a small distance
from the town." Here he raised a mat bungalow at an expence of 650 Rupees. He then went down
to Serampore, and returned with his wife to commence his arduous labours. He devoted himself with
untiring zeal to incessant preaching in the streets and bazars, and kept open house for visitors, and
inquirers, — itinerating also in all the villages within his reach. It is said by one, who was an eye-wit-
ness, '* that the number of places he would visit, together with the number of times he would address
di£ferent congregations in one day, was truly astonishing. The simple travelling from village to village
and from place to place in the different villages where he preached, appeared to me a sufficient exertion
for one day, while he, from eight in the morning till five in the afternoon, continued to travel and
preach without cessation, allowing himself time to take a little dry provision only as he went from one
hamlet to another."

In the midst of these labours, Mr. C. was visited with a most afflictive stroke in the death of his
wife after her confinement. Dr. Marshman, who had very kindly brought up a boat to convey Mrs.
C. to Serampore, arrived the night before her death, and proved a sympathizing friend in this time of
great distress. It was with difficulty that either a coffin could be made, or a grave dug. The latter
Dr. Marshman had himself to commence before he could prevail on any one to assist him. The
bereaved one and his friend had themselves to carry the coffin, and consign it to the silent grave.
Dr. Marshman succeeded in taking Mr. C. away from this scene of woe to Serampore, but could not
prevail in detaining him longer than ten days from his post. But though his grief was great, he does
not appear to have relaxed in his labours.

At the end of fifteen months he was married to the widow of the Missionary Grant. But after only
eight months of mutual comfort, he was again visited with a blow equally severe with that which he
had before received. Alone, on the bosom of the river, he had to close in death the eyes of his beloved
wife, to conceal his grief, and to restrain the sorrow of his step-daughter, 10 years old, lest the boat-
men, advised of the sad event, should desert him in tliis time of deep affliction ; well might he write,
' * I am afflicted with wave upon wave till I am shipwrecked in the midst of the storm. The arrows of
the Almighty stick fast in me, and I am consumed with the blow of hb hand. Yet still his strokes
are fewer than my crimes, and lighter than my guilt. The Lord hath done it. I would therefore be
dumb and open not my mouth."

In September 1809, Mr. Chamberlain re-entered the married state with Miss Underwood, with
whom he had been acquainted in England, and who was one of the first to direct his mind to Mission-
ary service. His labours were now divided between the heathen at Cutwa, and the European Soldiers
at the Military station of Berhampore. Here his preaching was greatly blessed to his countrymen, so
that, when the Regiment was removed from Berhainpore, the Church consisted of between thirty and
forty members. At Cutwa, his success does not appear to have been equal to his labours. He had,
however, at least, one remarkable seal to his ministry in the conversion of a poor degraded mendicant,
Brindabun, who, for thirteen years, proved his crown of rejoicing, and then preceded him to glory.

The MiKsionarie<» at Seramporc, being anxious for the extension of the gospel, and the improvement
of the translations of the Scripturos made for the uj)j)cr provincen, urged Mr. Chamberlain to proceed
to Agra. They (^onsidfred his facility of acquiring languages, his acquaintance with the original
Scriptures, and his tried zeal and experience in Missionary work as peculiarly fitting hun for a Mission,
where at least two versions of the word of God would require to be carefully revised and improved.

Persuaded of his duty, he quitted Cutwa, not without regret, and, with the permLssson of Govern-
ment, proceeded up to Agra, January 1811. Here, in conjunction witli a fellow Missionary, Mr.
Peacock, he laboured with his usual diligence for fifteen months. His time was fully occupied in carry-
ing on a school for his support ; attending to the translations of the Scriptures ; preaching in English
to a small congregation in his own house ; and to the soldiers in the fort, as well as to the natives in a
language not yet ])erfectly acquired. Here, also, he had to endure affliction. He had formerly lost
several children, but now he had to part with three within the space of six months. The eldest was
the only 6ur\'ivins child of his first wife, and was, on many accounts, very greatly endeared to lus
heart. In the midst of his sorrows he was much cheered by the conversion of others, whom he could
call his spiritual children. He thus writes, to one : — ** When I lost the last of my children, 1 remem-
bcr looking at you and Mr. and Mrs. W., all my dear and kind friends, and then 1 said in my heart
again and again O Lord ! if thou bless these friends with thy saving grace, it is enough, I abound. I
will resign my dai'lings for them."

Things at Agra wore a pleasing aspect ; but they were suddenly beclouded. An order was received
from Government to send him to the Presidency under a guard. The Magistrate of Agra very kindly
ordered the guard to attend him as his servants, and Mr. C. did not fail to embrace every opportunity
of preaching to the natives on his way down. On his arrival at Calcutta, he was Informed that he was
at liberty. ** And now instead of spending his time in tliinking what was to become of him and his
family, leaving all to the direction of his faithful God, he set out on a preaching tour to those places
which had been the theatre of his former exertions."

Scarcely had sLx weeks elapsed after his arrival at the Presidency when he received an invitation from
Mr. Dyce, the adopted son of the Begum Somroo, to come up to Sirdhana, and undertake the tuition
of his son. Considering this as an opening made by Providence for the spreading of the Gospel in the
North- Western provinces, and having first stipulated that there should be no restraint laid on him in
his Missionary work, Mr. C. proceeded to Sirdhana, where he arrived on the 8th May 1813. He was
received by tlie Begum and Mr. D. with every mark of respect and much kindness. Besides attending
on his young pupil for three or four hours every morning, he was diligently employed in translations ;
establishing schools for the Roman Catholics and Heathen ; distributing the Scriptures and preaching
to the people. Whilst here he had an opportunity of visiting Delhi and Hurdwar, and though suffering
greatly in his health, laboured with persevering ardour in preacliing and distributing the word of God,
both among the rich and haughty Mussulmans and the poor and degraded Hindoos. He styles these,
*' grand campaigns." The following is a description of the Missionary at Hurdwar by an eye-witness.
" His knowledge of the language was that of an accomplished native ; his delivery impressive ; and
his whole manner i)artook much of mildness and benignity. No abuse, no language wluch could in any
way injure the sacre<l service in which he was employed escaped his lips. Having finished his allotted
portion, on every part of which he commented and explained, he recited a short prayer, and concluded
the evening by bestowing his blessing on all assembled. At first, as may be expected, his auditors
were few : a pretty convincing proof, when sixty thousand people were collected, that it was not through
mere curiosity they subsequently increased. For the first four or five days he was not sorroimded by
more than as many hundred Hindoos : in ten days, (for I regularly attended,) his congregatioa had
in(;reascd to as many thousands. Tliey sat around and listened with an attention which would have
reficcU'd credit on a Christian audience. On the Missionary's retiring, they every evening dieered him
home with *' May the Padre live for ever !"

A com)>laint however was sent by some one to the Secretary of Government about Mr. C.'s preaching
at Hurdwar. The Government, fearing lest some evil might arise from his preaching to the natives,
requested the Begmn to dismiss him ; which, after unavailing applications for permission to retain
him her Highness was obliged most reluctantly to do. He once more returned to Serampore. Per-
mission having been obtained for his settlement in some of the lower provinces, Mr. C. wt oat, ii;ell
supplied with the word of God ; and after travelling up and down the river between Mirzapore and
Monghyr, he at la.<t fixed upon the latter as his abode. The reasons which directed his choice are
thus expressed by him. " The place is immensely larger than I had supposed ; and I hope here to sit
down ({uietly to my work. And as I shall not be far from you, we shall be able to have frequent com-
munications in the //roq/' way, which I shall much like. Hence, as [ can get a house wiUioat mndi
trouble, and as here arc two friends already, who are likely to come under our chai^, and as tiiere are
a few otiiers, who may be brought to the Saviour when the banner of the cross is unfurled, and as this
is a very populous place, I am come to a determination to remove to it without delay." Here he was
as diligent as he had been in other places. He devoted four days in the week to translations, two to
preaching to the natives and one to Europeans. Indeed, as his health decreased, he seems to have
laboured more abundantly, for we find that in 1820, whenever he was able, he studied hard at the
translations ; preached three times a week in English, attending two meetings besides ; preached three
times a week to the natives ; and conducted native worship every morning. Sabbaths excepted, in his
own house. A greater blessing seems to have attended his labours in this place than in any former
sphere. He had laboured, amid the pain and weakness attendant on disea.sed lungs, but for five years ;
and yet he had the gratification of leaving a small but very flourishing Church, consisting of twelve
natives members, besides some Europeans and East Indians. Twice was lie compelled to recruit him-
self, by going to the Sand- Heads, and once to Berliampore, till at length, on the 13th of September
ls2l, he was obliged to abandon hia beloved work, and repair to Calcutta. By the advice of his
Medical attendant, his passage was, as the very la.n exp<^dient, taken for England on board the

** Princess Charlotte.*' Though reduced to the greatest helplessness, ** he determined to proceed alone,
from the noble but mistaken disinterestedness of saving expence to the Society. '^ On the second
Sabbath of Nov. he parted with his wife and only child, and all those comforts so necessary for a
dying bed ; and after languislilng for three weeks, he was found dead one morning by the yoimg man
engaged to attend on him. In the language of his friend and fellow student, Dr. Cox, *' On the 6th
of December 1821, Chamberlain died in solitude, in a small cabin, in the night and at sea ! There he
lies buried in the ocean depths till the resurrection of the just. The smooth and yielding sea admits
no Monumental marble with its eulogizing epitaph ; but he has a Monument on the land in the works

REV. JOHN LAWSON.

Mr. XaaTrson was bom at Trowbridge in Wiltshire, on the 27th of July 1787, and remained at the
same place till the year 1803 ; when he was removed to London to gratify the strong propensity he felt
to become an artist. Here, after being brought to a knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus, he was led
to consecrate his talents to the service of religion, and to embark for India as a Missionary, princi-
pally with the view of being useful in the arts. After having accomplished the chief work for which he
came to this country, he was called to discharge the duties of a minister and a pastor, to which he devoted
himself with a steady perseverance till the year 1825, when he died in the midst of his usefulness.

Mr. Lawson was early tlie subject of religious impressions and from a child was made acquainted
with the Holy Scriptures. The impressions produced by his mother's instructions were afterwards
strengthened by the kind attentions of the master to whose care his education was entrusted ; this
gentleman (Mr. Wa«<tficld), often conversed with him and prayed with him in the most serious and
affectionate manner, which under the divine blessing, produced an indelible effect on his mind, and for
which he afterwards felt more grateful than for all his other favours.

Under the care of a person with whom he felt himself at home, he soon began to manifest his pre-
vailing genius. He commenced cutting different figures on pieces of wood, and without any assistance,
brought them to such i)erfection, that those who saw them were astonished, and convinced that the hand
of nature had formed him for an artist. His father thought it prudent not to cross his inclination and
therefore went to London to seek out for him a suitable situation ; and having succeeded in getting him
articled to a wood engraver, returned home with a message that delighted the heart of his son. AU
necessary arrangements having been made in June 1803, he took leave of his friends : at which time,
bis father requested of him two things ; the one was to read his Bible, and the other, to attend divine
worship on the Sabbath ; which he promised to do. He then received the parting benediction, quitted
the place of his nativity, and entered the great town where to him all was new and surprizing.

After his arrival in London, he applied himself diligently to his work, and made rapid advances in
the art. These labors of his occupation engaged his attention all the week, and on the Sabbath-days,
new scenes and new companions invited him to a kind of dissipation, to which before he had been un-
accustomed. Allured by these specious baits, he forgot his promise to his father, neglected to read
his Bible, and seldom attended any place of worship. In this course he continued for nearly three
years, though not without many struggles of conscience, and resolutions to reform. In one of these
serious internals he was led to read his neglected Bible, and to visit the forsaken chapel ; and it pleased
God by these means to convince him of his sins, and soon after to deepen these convictions by afilic-
tion, and at length to make him experimentally acquainted with the blessing of salvation. He then
offered himself as a candidate to the Church in Eagle Street, of which Mr. Ivimey, the writer of ** The
History of the English Baptists," and other works, was pastor ; when, according to the custom of Con-
gregational Churches, they required of him to give an account of his Christian experience, and his
reasons for wishing to make a public profession of religion. Soon after his admission into the Church,
his mind became impressed with the importance of Missions, and thinking that he might promote the
great work by the knowledge of the art he had acquired, as well as by other means, he ventured to
make known his desires, and was recommended to the attention of the Baptist Missionary Society.
Upon ascertaining the nature of his talents and acquirements, and the important uses to which they
might be employed, the Society engaged his services and placed him vmder the care of the Rev. J.
Sutcliff, of Olney, with whom he entered on a preparatory course of studies. These were not carried
to the extent he wished, through its having been judged desirable for him to make himself master of
punch-cutting in order to improve the different types used in India ; this required his return to London,
and nearly a year's close application. Some time previous to his leaving England, he formed an ac-
urenbtance with Miss Frances Butterworth, whom he married on the 28th Sept. 1810.

The time appointed for his embarkation drawing near, he was publicly set apart for his work, and
after having given an account of Ids design and motives for wishing to engage in missionary work,

216 CIRCULAR ROAD BAPTIST CHAPEL.

which to his venerable tutor and all present gave great satufaction, Mr. SutcUff addressed him from
2d Tim. 1 verse : — '* Thou therefore, my son, be strong in tlie grace that is in Christ Jesus/' On this
occasion his beloved tutor presented him with a family Bible, on the reception of which, he oomposed
and inscribed in it the following lines : —

Tliough on the stormy sea of life I roam,

A weary mariner that longs for home,

Mid shoals and quicksands yet will 1 not fear.

For thee I love my Bible ! ev^r true,

As mystic needle when*tis dark and drear,

That points tlie unseen way.

On the 1st Nov. 1810, he went on board the ship *' Ceres" at Gravesend ; and on the 23d of Dec.
after a very boisterous passage acoss the Atlantic, arrived with his companions in the United States,
where they were kindly received by christian friends of various denominations. — Having spent about 2
months in the enjoyment of such society, they again set sail for India ; but the vessel meeting with a
violent gale, was dismasted, and obliged to put back, which together with some political misunder-
standing between America and England, at the time, laid Uiem under the necessity of remaining about
a year longer. Wliile in the United States, Mr. Lawson was very acceptable as a preacher, and often
hsui the thoughts, if necessitated, to leave India, of returning to labour on that continent. During the
last three years of his life, he acted as Agent to the American Baptist Board of Foreign Missions.

On the 8th of February 1812 Mr. Lawson again took leave of his friends at Philadelphia and went
on board the ship ** Harmony," which arrived in safety at Calcutta on the 10th August 1812.

Mr. Lawson was now settled at Seramporc, where the versatility of his talents rendered him of essential
service to the Printing office and School in that place. In connection with his other engagements he
commenced the study of the Bengalee language, which he afterwards read and wrote correctly. Tlie great
work which he accomplished was the reduction of the types used in the EUistem language, paiticolarly
the Bengallee and Chinese. The natives believed this an impracticable task, yet he not only aocom-
plished it, but taught them how to carry it on, and other characters, without his aid ; so that now the
effect of his labour will be felt perhaps longer than his name will be known. While occupied in this
manner, an order was issued for all persons, not licensed to remain in this country, to return home, and
among others, Mr. Lawson was included, but upon a representation being made to Government of his
great usefulness in the reduction of the types, he was permitted to stay.

Soon after this an accident occurred to his eldest daughter which rendered it necessary for him to
remove from Serampore to Calcutta for medical advice ; and after he came to this city ; other events
transpired which opened to him a new sphere of action.

He was now invited to become the pastor of a Church ; and in the commencement of 1816 he,
together with the Rev. £. Carey, was ordained co-pastor of the first formed Baptist Church at Calcutta,
where for about three years he continued to labour, with considerable acceptance and success.
Circumstances having 1^ to the formation of a second Baptist Church, which met for worship at a
distance from the former place, and Mr. Carey and Mr. Lawson having withdrawn from the first
church, Mr. Lawson was unanimously chosen the pastor of this infant interest, and within about
twelve months a neat building was erected in the neighbourhood of the Circular Road, the wbcUe, or
nearly the whole of the funds for which, were raised by the contributions of the inhabitants of Calcutta.
This was the last scene of Mr. Lawson's labours ; and it formed, as he said upon his death-bed, the
happiest part of his life.

In addition to the duties of his pastoral office, he used at one time to preadi very frequently in the
Fort : and many soldiers who there heard him, were reclaimed from a life of profligacy to that of piety,
by his instrumentality.

It is almost unnecessary to state, that in connection with his ministerial engagements, he spent a
considerable portion of his time in the work of education. About fifty young Ladies constantly
received from him instruction in writing, grammar, composition, and geography ; and many in drawing.
He devoted also a portion of his time to scientific pursuits. He was well skilled in music, and
composed a number of excellent tunes, some of which are commonly sung in England, America and
India. He had a very good acquaintance with natural History, and compiled several numbeni of the
History of Beasts, for the Calcutta School Book Society. His knowledge of Chrondogj, Bftineralogy,
and Botany was considerable. In the last class of botany which treats of Cryptogamoua plants, he
carried his researches to a great extent : perhaps no one in India exceeded him in this departnmt. His
drawings of these plants would be a valuable acquisition to any one engaged in the same study.

In the discharge of his various duties, and in the pursuit of general knowledge, he did not lose ai|^
of a favourite recreation, viz. the cultivation of the muses. Between the years 1820 and 1825, he
published four works, Orient Harping, Female Influence, the Lost Spirit, and Roland, with some small
pieces ; besides which he has left behind a manuscript volume of Miscellaneous Poems, which with his
Maniac, published originally in England in 1810, were in the Press. The parts in which he most
excelled, were the descriptive, the pathetic, and the ludicrous. He was occasionally led, under the
inspirations of poetry, to turn his delightful recreation into a principal employment ; and though he
knew not how to avoid it at the time, he afterwards felt sorry for such aberrations, and in hu last
affliction, confessed it as one of the errors for which he hoped to be forgiven. Such is the frailty of
human nature, even in the best of men, that their very virtues have their excrescences.

About eight months before his death, a remarkable change was observable in his whole deportment.
His mind seemed more spiritual, his temper more amiable, his conduct more active and his preaching
more heavenly. His friends viewed these things as the hopeful signs of his more extensive usefulness
in the Church militant ; but they now look upon them as the efTects wrought by the Holy Spuit to
prepare him for the Church triumphant. The night on which he last administered and last partook of

CIRCULAR ROAD BAPTIST CHAPEL. 217

Ike emVlems of the SaYioar*s death, was a most solemn and affecting season to all the members who
were present. This took place on the 4th of September, and on the 1 1th he preached his last sermon.
He had been for several weeks previous very unwell, with an occasional pain on his side, accompanied
with a troublesome bowel complaint, which he disregarded, apprehending it would be of no consequence.
On this day however, he felt very ill, which Mrs. Lawson perceiving, endeavoured to dissuade httn from
preaching, he said, however, that he must attempt it, as he felt it would most likeiy be the last time he
should do it. His text was, Hosea xi. 8 — ** How shall I give thee up, Ephraim ? How shall I deliver
thee, Israel ? How shall I make thee as Admah ? How shall I set thee as Zeboim ? Mine heart is
turned within me, and my repentings are kindled together." It was a very affecting address, and
seemed indeed as though it was expected to be the last he should deliver to his people. On the notes
of the sermon he wrote the date at which it was preached, with these words, *' very poorly indeed."
Amongst the items of improvement in the sermon, were the following : —

" If afflictions tend to bring us near to God, let us welcome them. How refreshing are the thoughts
of heaven, where complete emancipation from sin is contemplated. There God will no more have
occasion (from the backslidings of his people) to put the tender inquiries of the text."

He still continued very ill till Friday the 23d September, when although very little better, he was
recommended to try a change of air, and went over to Howrah to spend a few days with Mr. Statham.
Soon after his arrival, he wrote a note to Mrs. Lawson, from which the following is an extract : — " I am
obliged to say, that never was I in such a state before, God alone knows what are his plans respecting
me. To him I desire to commit myself for time and eternity. I am perfectly convinced that good is
the will of the Lord concerning me. O may I be his, then all will be well." On the day following,
he wrote again to Mrs. Lawson, describing his dangerous symptoms, and then proceeds : — " I am, I must
say, very anxious about myself for the sake of my dear family. Still I desire to submit, and to ac-
^uiesce in all that God is pleased to do with me. Farewell my dear. Let us be more wholly given up
to God, and then we shall be less anxious about our poor selves." He felt now a more severe pain,
which gradually increased, till it became exceedingly distressing. He was brought home again, and the
best medical advice obtained. It was now ascertained that an extensive inflammation of the liver had
taken place.

Fh>m this time he appears to have indulged but faint expectations of recovery ; yet his mind was won-
derfully supported in the affecting and overwhelming prospect before him. He said at different times,
*' I have great need of patience to bear this long affliction, as I ought, but I would not have been
without it for a world. I have had such enlarged views of the suitability of the plan of salvation by
an Almighty Saviour, to the wants of a dying sinful creature, as I never possessed before. Should I
live, I will preach more than ever to my people of the iniinite righteousness of Christ Jesus as the only
foundation of a sinner's hope. I have no elevated joys, but I have a good hope, being fixed on the
rock Christ Jesus. I have great reason for gratitude ; for though constitutionally subject to extreme
depression of mind, and in my former illnesses grievously afflicted by it, T have not during this illness
had a cloud cross my mind. All has been tranquillity and peace."

In this state of mind Mr. Lawson continued daily growing weaker, till the 15th of October, when
medicine producing no improvement in his symptoms, his medical attendants recommended his going
to the Sand Heads. On Monday the 17th he was conveyed by Mr. Pearce on board a boat to try the
river air. The weather, which before had been unfavorable, during the night became very fine, and a
delightfully cool breeze sprung up, and continued till the close of the day following, so that the trial
was made under the most auspicious circumstances ; still, however his complaint was not checked ;
but during the Monday night, and the whole of Tuesday, continued to exhaust him as before. His usual
medical attendant, Dr. Browne, being again consulted, stated, that he could entertain but very slight
hopes of Mr. Lawson's recovery. When this was communicated to him, he said, '* I am well aware
the Doctor is correct, I feel I cannot live long, for I find a sensible decay of nature. But 1 can launch
into eternity without apprehension, relying on the perfect righteousness of the Redeemer." He now
communicated his wishes respecting his family and his church with the greatest composure, and then
took leave of his friend, Mr. Pearce, with the most touching expressions of affectionate regard. After
this exertion, he fell into a doze from which, when he awaked, not perceiving any one near him, he
began to pray, and used among others the following expressions, which were committed to papt^r
soon after : —

** Blessed Jesus ! I am a wretched, unworthy creature, but I know thou hast purchased me with
thy precious blood, and has entered into covenant relations with thy adorable Father on my behalf,
that I should not be hurt of the second death. I am altogether polluted, but thou hast covered all my
defects with the spotless robe of thy perfect righteousness. I feel that my flesh and my heart are now
failing, but I know that thou will be the strength of my heart and my portion for ever. Blessed, blessed,
blessed, God ! I have received from thee an intimation that I must go up to possess a heavenly mansion,
and shall I decline the invitation ? O no ! only grant me a few days to warn my people, that :" —

Here his voice became low and indistinct, and perceiving Mr. Pearce, he said that he felt he could
not survive more than three days ; and then begged him, in the most urgent manner, to make arrange,
ments for his immediate return home. He said, ** I wish to see my dear family and friends, and to
speak to the members of my flock. I want to leave among them my dying testimony to the truths of
the gospel ; and can then die in peace." Exertions were now made to gratify his wislies, but it was
doubted whether he would reach home alive. Before leaving the boat, he said to Mrs. Pearce, " I
am fading like a flower." She replied, ** But to bloom again in an immortal paradise." He rejoined,
" yes, I am faUing to the dust; but (with peculiar emphasis) I shall rise again." Through the kind
assistance of friends, Mr. Lawson, though excessively weak and helpless, was conveyed home with less
difficulty than had been anticipated. It was however, too evident, that, as he expressed it, he came
home to die ; and from thu time he, as well as his afflicted wife and firiends, seems to have considered
his recovery impossible.

218' CIRCULAR ROAD BAPTIST CHAPEL.

On Wednesday morning he addressed his children and missionary associates widi madi pffoprie ty
and pathoii ; and in his messages to ah«ent friends manifested much affectioii and diTine snppoit. He
said to Mr. Penney tell Carey — that 1 am now passing through the Talley of the shadow of death, and
that I have the presence and assistance of my Redeemer. I have strength equal to my day." He
said to Mr. Yates respecting Mr. Hoby, *' You know Hoby ;" I knew him sometime before yon, and I
trust we both had the same spirit as to the mission. He well knows what a poor trembling and almort
despairing creature I used to be : but tell him, tell him that you saw me die, and that I bad peace in
my last moments. Tell him that I saw nothing frightful in death, but found light and comfort while
parsing through the dark valley." He remarked also : ** If I must say any thing about the im-
provement of my death, I think I should like it to be made from Ist Tim. 1 c. 15t. ** Una ia a
faithful saying," &c. as most suitable to my experience. And let nothing be said in the lermoti te
exalt man,' but let all be to exalt the Saviour. I feel that I am the chief of sinners ; but 1 hare preach-
ed Christ as an all-sufficient Saviour, and now I find him so to me." At this time, when asked if
Mr. Yates should pray with him, he said, " yes, but let us sing first." He then selected that bean-
tiful hymn., *' Jesus, I love thy charming name," &c. and gave out and sang himself the first two ver-
ses and the last. It was exceedingly affecting to hear his tremulous voice, in this, his last effort to Hng
on this side eternity, repeat the last verse, so very appropriate to his circumstanoes, and congenial to
his feelings : —

" 1*11 speak the honors of thy name

With my last labouring breath,

And, dying, clasp thee in my arms,

The antidote of death."

On Thursday, our native preacher Paunchoo came to see him, when he said to him : " Fnmchoo, I
am now going into the presence of that great Jesus, whose gospel I have preached, and whose gospel
you preach. We believe that the everlasting righteousness of Christ can save sinners ; and I b^ of
you, when you go among your countrymen, to tell them fully that it is a faithful saying, and worthy of
all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." In the afternoon, Messrs.
Warden and Gogerly called to see him. W^hen asked, if he had any thing particular to say to them, he
replied, '* No ! only, tliat they may abound more and more in the work of the Lord." After this he
rapidly declined, and on the Fridiay morning it was evident that his dissolution was at hand. Mr.
Pearce intimating this to him, said he hoped he could say, ** The will of the Lord be done." He re^-
ed, '* I would rather say, Now let mc die. O Lord ! now let thy servant depart in peace " On bis
adding, '* When you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you need fear no evil ;" he im-
mediately caught the allusion to the 23rd Psalm, and replied, " No ! The Lord is my shepheid, I diall
not want. He even now maketh me to lie down in green pastures." To Mr. Penney, wlio asked him
how he feU, he said, *' I am well. I have still a good hope. I am on the foundation." To Dr. Ca-
rey, Mr. Hill, Mr. Robinson, and other friends, who at different times called to see 1dm, he used
similar expressions. At one time he said : ** I have not the smallest idea of recovery, and the r e fo r e
do now most solemnly commit my soul into the hands of my Almighty Saviour. Blessed be Gh>d that
he ever called me by his grace." One of his friends observed, ** Y'es, blessed be he indeed, for where
he hath given grace, there he hath promised to give glory. Wliom he calletii, them also he will justify
and glorify." He rejoined : ** yes he hath loved me wiUi an everlasting lore, and therefore with loving
kindness hath he drawn me."

Soon after thL«, his mind, oppressed with disease, became incapable of thought, and he said IStde
more in the exercise of his rea^son before his death, which on Saturday night at 1 1 o'dock, admitted
him to the joy of his Lord, and to the {peeping of that Sabbath which remains for the people of God.

THE LATE REVEREND JAMES PENNEY.

The Reverend James Pennej, the son of Mr. Joseph Penney of Hereford, and one of the first
pupils of J. Lancaster, the celebrated founder of the Lancasterian system of education, left RiigUiul i^
18 IC, on his nomination to the Mastership of the Benevolent Institution ; and arrived in India on bia
birth-day, the 1st February 1817. The institution was before this under the management of Mr.
Leonard ; but for reasons which it is unnecessary to mention here, the Serampore Missionaries had
deemed it expedient to apply to the Baptist Missionary Society in England for an eflieient teacber ; and
the choice fell upon Mr. Penney.

Prior to this i>eriod on quitting Mr. Lancaster's school, he was engaged for several sneeesrfve jmn
in establishing seminaries in difiierent parts of England upon the Lancasterian principle, some of wfaiek
he superintended personally, and others he left to the tuition and management of f»ffiHfnt taMhen.
This system was then getting into increasing estimation, and was patronized by several "ft i MW t a Wft and
influential gentlemen. He was even invited by several Societies, interested in the promotion of edneap>
tion, to fuimd, in various places, institutions after the Lancasterian model ; nor was he baekwaid in
devoting all his energies to so good a cause. He organized schools in Shrewsbury, Oswestry, WldttiB^
ton, Selattyn, Bath, Tavi^toe, and several other places, some of which, it may be said to his credit, are
now in a prosperous condition, and have been productive of much real benefit to society. He devotad
his Sabbaths to Sunday schools, several of which he left under the auspices of the Baptist Qmidi at
Shrewsbury in a very flourishing state, containing in the aggregate neariy 500 boys. Thoa he went
about doing good ; being convinced that he was made not for himself alone, he promptly laid iMld of
every opportunity to render himself useful to others. This line of conduct he so closely panned, that
he raised himself in the estimation of all who were acquainted with him. And it was said witih rtfrrwtoe
to him, that, " had J. Lancaster lived only to train this single youth, he would not have lived in vain."

When he arrived in India, he took charge of the Institution, and under his experienced and »<li#4ftf
management, the posture of afl'airi) soon assumed a difierent aspect. The improvement was indflfld

CIRCULAR ROAD BAPTIST CHAPEL. 219

most remarkable. A more sjrstematic mode of tuition was introduced, and the whole routine of opera-
tions was 80 arranged as to facilitate the successful prosecution of study. The children were drilled
according to the Lancasterian system, and were soon able to go through the whole round of acade-
mical manoeuvres with readiness.

When Mr. Penney first took charge of the Benevolent Institution, it consisted of fifty boys. His
kindness, diligent application, and winning behaviour, soon brought numbers to flock to him, of almost
every color, tenet and denomination. Hindoos, Mahomedans, Chinese, Mulays, Mugs, Armenians, Jews,
Roman Catholics, Protestants, 8cc. poured in from every quarter ; and so rapid was the increase, that
in about a year, he had the heartfelt satisfaction of witnessing a well attended and crowded school.
From the impulse of a generous heart, he used every effort to collect together the children of the poor
and destitute, from the ** hedges and the highways,*' into his benevolent asylum, to impart to them the
word of life, and to feed their souls with the spiritual manna. His laudable object was partially realised,
** The harvest was indeed great, but the labourers were few." The rapid accession to the school so
greatly extended the sphere of his labours, that, notwithstanding the aid he derived from the adoption
of the monitorial system, which was yet in its infancy, he was obliged to put all his energies upon the
stretch to go through the arduous and responsible task of both teaching and superintending. Mr.
Penney had now also experienced great difficulty in meeting the expenditure of the school, and received
his own salary so very irregularly, that were it not for the assistance he occasionally received from his
Missionary brethren, he would have been left destitute.

The Institution was then, as it is now, in a great measure upheld by public donations, which were
very largely and liberally bestowed. In process of time, the establishment of several seminaries, and
benevolent societies, which incessantly and fervently appealed to the generosity of the public, interfered
materially with its growing prosperity, by drawing away from it a large portion of that patronage,
which it was wont to receive. Owing to this rapid declension in the usual income, the Institution
became deeply involved in pecuniary embarrassments, from wliich it could not be extricated, notwith-
standing the observance of the most rigid economy. In this unhappy state of affairs, the managers were
reduced to the necessity of memorializing the Government, whose munificence towards useful institutions,
constitutes its brightest characteristic. The appeal met with a happy issue ; Mr. Lushington, the Chief
Secretary of Government, and a warm encourager of education, enlisted himself as its patron, and used
all his influence in its behalf. For he not only laid the memorial before Government, but so warmly
supported it, on the score of the extensive utility of the institution, that Lord Amherst, with his wonted
liberality, condescended to issue an order in its favor for the sum of 13,000 Rupees, which was to be
a{)propriated to the liquidation of the debt, that then amounted to 10,000 Rs., and the surplus to the
repairs of tlie decayed building. The liberality of Government did not end here ; after the munificent
donation of 13,000 Rs. which was almost immediately absorbed by the exhorbitant debt, and other
petty disbursements. Government was again pleased, on the presentation of a second appeal, in which
the managers represented the progressive decline of the pecuniary resources of the Institution to con-
tribute towards it a monthly donation of 200 Rs. which continues to this day. This favor also should
be in a great measure ascribed to the kind interposition of Mr. Lushington. We deem it just and
therefore necessary to record here, though it is little known, and hardly ever acknowledgeed, that Mr.
Penney exerted himself, as much as, if not more than others in obtaining this aid from Government.
He represented to Mr. Lushington the vast amount of vice and misery which prevails among the lower
ranks of the Indian society, and that these spring from their fruitful parent, ignorance ; he further
pointed out to him that the most effectual method of benefiting them, was by imparting to them a good
and solid education, based upon Christian principles, which would at once put it into their power
the means of meUorating their own condition. Under this conviction Mr. Lushington supported
this useful institution, and encouraged it by his visits ; by occasional supplies of wearing apparel for
distribution, &c. Other public institutions too, such as the Free School, the Upper and Lower Orphan
schools, were in no small measure benefited by his liberal exertions ; but his marked attention to the
Benevolent Institution, on the substantial ground of its great utility, a reason which he himself was
pleased to assign for his predilection to it, proves beyond a doubt, that it is wortly of public patronage.
And it may be recorded to the honor of the institution, that a great number of young men, who had been
trained up there, now fill some of the most respectable posts in public offices and seminaries, with cre-
dit to themselves and entire satisfaction to their employers. Many of them are decidedly useful, upright
and pious characters.

Had they been left in the condition in which they were ushered into the institution, some scarcely
capable of reading the alphabet, others, though of professedly Christian parents, yet as ignorant of
Christ and His Gospel as the heathens ; how many probably would have been left to this day in their
deplorable ignorance of spiritual things, and in a situation unfit to earn even a scanty livelihood.

Mr. Penney was 21 years in India, and his connexion with the Institution for so long a period, argues
great steadfastness of character, and a tenacious attachment to the cause, for the promotion of which,
he voluntarily tore himself away from the affectionate circle of his friends and relatives, and abandoned
the genial climate of his native country. Such a sacrifice plainly shows, that he sufficiently appreciated
the momentous work which he was called upon to undertake, and that he held it in no small estimation.
Mercenary motives did not influence his conduct. He valued the work, not because oriental treasures
encircled it with a bright and inviting halo, but because it was truly valuable in itself, the successful
accomplishment of which, was the highest reward he had in contemplation, and the desire of doing
good, the greatest stimulus to his exertions. When he was struggling with pecuniary difficulties,
owing to the progressive decline of the resources of the Institution, Mr. Lushington very kindly offered
him the superintendence of a Government School, associated with a handsome remuneration, but know-
ing that he would in accepting it, deprive himself of the privilege of teaching the word of God, he nobly
declined the ofl'er, willing rather to forego temporal gain for spiritual advantage. Being convinced that
** to train up children in the way that they should go/' is an important and legitimate part of Mission-

2 F 2

220 CIRCULAR ROAD BAPTIST CHAPEL.

ary work, lie oontinued lo labour with unremitting zeal and assidaity in the iphere in which the dtspcD'
sationH of providi-ncc 1i id placed him. We quote hiH own sentiments on the sabject : — '* Educating the
rising generation, training them in the feAr of the Lord, and guiding them in the paths of Tirtne and
piety is indeed the work of the Lord." Mr. IVnney however did not continue in India the whole 21
years ; his health being materially impaired by violent attacks of the malignant fSerer, which he had un-
happily contracted during his excursion to Saugor'C in 1829, and which had obstinately resisted every
remedy, he was advisu^d by the faculty to try the effect of a change as a last resource. Although very
reluctant to leave the Institution, he was obliged in obedience to medical advice to set out for England
on a furlough of two yeani, to recruit his spirits, and to repair his broken oonstitotioa, that he might
be better fitted to resume his labours, and for future usefulness.

His predominant qualities as a man, were goodness, uprightness, cheerfnlnesSt and acttrity. His
countenance was the index of his heart, and was always adorned with the smile of benerolenoe, which
bespoke the favorable regard of all who conversed with him. Honesty of intention, singleness of aim,
and uprightness of mind were conspicuous in all his actions. He was clear as the running stream*
transparent to the bottom ; his temper was uniformly good and mild. No one ever received from him
one frowning look, one angry word, or one unkind deed. No one could accuse him of inactivity, and
he was always employed in doing good. His favorite studies in his leisure hours were Algebra, Botany,
and Conchology, but he never suffered these studies to encroach on the duties which he owed to God

and man.

As a husband, a father, and a friend, he was invariably kind, both in temporal and spiritual con-
cems. To ask a favor seemed more like conferring an obligation. When nature and gimoe both unite
their powers to sweeten the temper of man, what a compound of amiablenessi loveliness, and philan-
thropy do they make him.

In his diaracter as a Christian were displayed sincerity, and love, seal and constancy,-- «nd one who
delighted in the triumphs of redeeming grace, by whomsoever they might be obtained.

His efforts as a preacher of the Gospel were only occasional, till he took charge of the Bethel. In
all his discourses, simplicity and order were observable. There was often much point in his observa-
tions, which told remarkably well on the honest character of the sailor, and which invariably aeeured
his attention. He was always an acceptable preacher, and luid his practice been made to bear directly
upon this work, there is no doubt he would have been one of the flnt order. But it waa as a teacher
of youth, that he was most distinguished. In this capacity he was admired and loved by all who came
under his instructions.

Beside his Missionary brethren, the immediate circle of his friends ; the following Institatioiis, or
bodies, have severely felt his loss. The Benevolent Institution, of which he was so mauT years the
teacher. The Bethel, which he had undertaken to sujiply on the Sabbath. The Baptist AusiUaiy Mis-
sionary Society, of which he was the active Secretary. The Church in Circular Road, of which he was a
worthy deacon. The Ladies' Society for female education, of which he was the President, and the
Juvenile Society, of which he was always the sealous friend. For a man that was living to Christ in so
many ways to be removed, though it may be to his eternal gain and to the happiness of the Church
above, is a great affliction to the Cliureh on earth.

The removal of this good man was very sudden. The disease by which he waa removed was tlie
spasmodic cholera. The day in which the cold hand of death was laid upon him was his hirth-day
and it was a very singular coincidence of events, that his birth, his arrival in India, and his death
should all have taken place on the same month and on the same day of the month.

The following lines are inscribed on a white marble tablet in the Circular Road Chopd :—

REV. W. H. PEARCE.

The Rev. 1^. H. Pearce was taken ill with that awful disease, the Cholera, on the night of Monday
the 16th March, and a little before 9 o'clock the next evening, his emancipated spirit, freed from its
frail earthly tenement, was called to enter into the joy of its Lord. The nature of his complaint
rendered it impossible for him to hold much intercourse during the short interval which elapsed from
the time he was seized to that when he became incapable of articulation. But from what little he did
say, and still more from the tramquil composure he displayed during the trying process, it was delight-
fully apparent that his mind was supported by the hopes of the Gospel and the presence of his LDrd
and Saviour. His end was emphaticidly that of the righteous. His funeral, which took place the
following afternoon, was attended by a large number of persons, both Europeans and Natives, whose
unaffected sorrow, showed how much they esteemed his character, and how deeply they were affected by
bis removal.

Of all who have been honored of God to labour for the moral r^;eneration of India, no one, we feel
confident, ever laboured with more fidelity, more simplicity of aim, more devotedness of heart, or in
all probability with more extensive usefulness than did Mr. Pearce. The variety, extent, and disin-
ter^tedness of his labours, and the amount of his usefulness will never be fully known until the dis-
closures of the last day shall bring them to view.

On the morning of Lord's-day the 29th March a funeral Sermon was preached in Bengali by Dr.
Yates, (his most intimate friend,) in the Native Chapel, Intally, which, together with the commodious
school-house, adjoining to it, was built a short time before this event, with money obtained by Mr.
Pearce during his stay in England ; and greatly was he rejoiced at the promising prospect of utility
which it presented. Dr. Yates' discourse was founded on those appropriate words : — ** He being dead,
yet speaketh.'' After describing the Christian's death, as the passage from a scene of misery, sin, and
darkness, to a state of light, and holiness, and perfect bliss, he in a most impressive manner pointed
out to the Native Christian audience how the life and works of their departed brother, continued to
apeak to them.

Another very affecting discourse was delivered on the Sabbath following Mr. Pearce's death in the
Native Chapel at South Collinga, of which Mr. Pearce was the Pastor. Sujaat Ally, a convert from
Mahomedanism, preached, and took for his text Rev. ii. 5 v. " Remember whence thou art fallen, and
repent and do the first works, or else I will come unto thee quickly and will remove thy candlestick out
of its place."

Another funeral Sermon was preached by the Rev. F. Tucker to an overflowing congregation at the
Union Chapel in Dhuramtollah on the evening of Lord's-day the 29th March. The audience was proba-
bly one of the largest that had ever been seen to assemble on such an occasion in Calcutta, and deep was
the feeling manifested by the numerous friends who thus met to show their esteem and affection for this
departed servant of Christ. The discourse was on Rev. i. 17 and 18. '* And when I saw him, I fell
at his feet as dead, and He laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, fear not : I am the first and
the last : I am He that liveth, and was dead, and behold I am alive for evermore. Amen : and have
the keys of hell (the unseen world) and death." The discourse throughout was eloquent and impressive.

An extract from this hist discourse details so much of Mr. Fearer's character, in genuine unaffected
language that we hesitate not to give it.

*' You will be desirous, however, of hearing something concerning the close of Mr. Pearce's life.
Short was the warning, which his Lord thought fit to give his devoted servant. On Monday, the
16th, after corresponding with friends in England and America on *' things pertaining to the king-
dom of God4' he was engaged to a late hour in religious conversation with some of the members
of his Church. The next evening, before that hour arrived, his course was finished, and he had
entered uito the joy of his Lord. During the intervening night he was attacked with Cholera, and
as his feeble constitution had been much weakened by recent sickness, he seemed almost imme-
diately to sink beneath the shock. In the forenoon, conscious that his end was approaching, he said
to his beloved partner and another dear friend, who were giving him some assistance : ** Love one
another ; live near to God ; win souls to Christ." A Christian friend observing to him that he had
been commended to God, and that his will would be done, he replied, ** serve God in your day and
generation." His beloved partner then asking for a parting word, he said, ** stay in the Mission and
do what good you can. And the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit." As his strength
proceeded very rapidly to diminish, his most intimate Chiistian brother, asked him, if he thought the
disorder would terminate his earthly career ; he said there could be no doubt of it. He then asked him
if he felt peaceful in the prospect; he repli^, *' peaceful, but not joyful, peaceful but not joyful." His
friend asked him, why he was not joyful in the prospect of entering into glory ? He said, ** why I
thought there was something more for me to do for the good of India before departing." His friend
rejoined, '* God has work for his people in another world besides this." He replied by nodding, and
seeming to whisper, *' very true." At this point the Doctor came in, and looking at him, said '* I hope

222 CIRCULAR ROAD BAPTIST CHAPEL.

Mr. Pearcc, you feel happy;" he replied, holding him by the hand. *' Doctor, I haTe a §food hope,
through grace." A little utVr another friend came in, and after quoting iMime consolatory passages of
scripture, to which he rcspondinl, by occasionally rai^iing hi.s hand, asked him how he felt. He replied,
*' I hope in Christ, I hope in Christ." His friend quoted, ** unto you that believe, He is precioas." He
answered, ** I know him to be so, infinitely." Perceiving that all would soon be over, his friend said,
*• you are going to your I^ord and Master," he instantly replied, ** a most unworthy servant." These
were nearly the bust wonls he s])oke audibly. The powerful medicines he had taken, seemed to confuse
his mind and impair his utterance. There was one incident, however, which occurred soon afterwards
which some who were )) resent will not soon ferget. Being raised suddenly in bed to relieve the
oppression on his chest, his eye fell on one (Shujaat Ally) who stood at the foot of the bed, who had
been born and reared in all the delusions of Mahomedanism, but had for many years proved through
the grace of God, a very consistent and devoted Christian. A heavenly smile instantly broke over the
wan face of the sutlerer, which was as instantly responded to by the converted Mussulman in the true
spirit of our text *' fear not, fear not, the Lord is standing by thee ;" the dying saint, nodded his assent,
and deeply were all around affected with the spectacle of one in the garb and mien of an Oriental, and
in a strange ton^ie, helping to soothe the death-bed of a British Christian with the sublime consolations
of the word of God. A^r this, Mr. Pearce gradually sunk into insensibility and about nine o'clock the
scene was closed.

The following Inscription Is taken from a Tablet in the Circular Road Baptist Chapel :— -

Sacred to the Memory of the Rev . 1^. H. Pearcey
son of the Rev. S. Pearce, A. M. Birmingham, founder of the Baptist Mission Press, Calcutta :

Pastor of the Native Church in South Colinga : and one of the first movers of Native
Female Education in India. He possessed an intelligent mind, a correct judgment, a lively imagi-
nation, a cheerful disposition, versality of talent, nobleness of sentiment, tenderness of
aifection, and energy of action ; and employed all for the honor of religion.
He believed in its distinguishing evangelical doctrines, exhibited both in public and private life,
all its lovely virtues ; and by vigorous co-operation with the good of every name, longfat
its universal extension, as the best means of promoting the glory of God and the wel&re of men.
He was bom at Birmingham the 14th of January 1794, arrived in India the 26th of
August 1817, and died on the 17th of March 1840.
** Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."

REV. W. YATES, D. D.

Dr. Vates was ordained to the Ministry at Leicester on the Slst of August 1814, when there were
present among others, and taking part in the services, his venerable tutor. Dr. Ryland, the great Robert
Hall and the scarcely less distinguished Andrew Fuller. This is the only occurrence in the htt of Dr.
Yates of which he was ever heard to speak with any thing like unusual pleasure, and it did apparently
afford him no small delight to think that he had been devoted to the Missionary cause by the counsels
and prayers of three such eminently great and holy men.

Very shortly after his ordination he sailed for India in the Ship ** Moira," cammanded by Captain
Kemp, who generously afforded him a free passage, and he landed in Calcutta April the 16th, 1815. In
a letter dated Serampore March, 1816, and addressed to his tutor Dr. Ryland : he gives him the follow-
ing account of his first year's doings, " The way I spend my time is this. In the morning before
breakfast I study Hebrew about an hour and a half. After worship, I attend to Bengali and BanscriL
I have read about five volumes in Bengali and all the Bengali proofs with Dr. Carey, haviimp before
compared them with the Greek. I have got through the Sanscrit roots once ; have not jet got through
the (grammar, but am reading the Ramayan with my pandit. My afternoons are chiefly taken up with
reading or hearing Latin and Greek. I have read ten volumes of Greek since I left England, bnt not
more than three of Latin. In the evening, after worship, I generally read English, or look over English
proofs. I take my turn in all the services here ; preach at Barrackpore, two miles over the river,
once and sometimes twice a week. We go to Calcutta in turn : it comes to me about onoe a month.
There are six services every Lord's-day, so that it is necessary for some one to go firom Serampore."
Now, when it is recollected that the Greek books to which he here refers, (for so it is ascertained from
letters addressed to Dr. lloby) were Longinus, Demosthenes, Pindar, Sophocles, Aristotle's Ethics,
Dionysius, Halicarnassus, Herodotus, and lliucydides ; and that the Latin volumes were the works of
Tacitus, and Cicero de ofliciis, the scholar will be able to understand somewhat of the extent of Dr.
Yates' attainments as a classic.

In the end of 1810, or in the beginning of 1817, Dr. Yates removed from Serampore to Calentta,
where he, in company with his fellow-labourers in the work of God, besides teaching in a school, for s
considerable time for his own support, and for that of his wife and child, (his salary being at that time
exceedingly small,) laboured most abundantly, both in English and Bengpedlee. He was also accnstouMil
regularly to \mt certain ])arts of the town, and to declare, in the public streets the word of life to \a*
perishing fellow-men. And he was not without his reward ; for those were times of tiie manifestatioo
of the power of God in the conversion of the people of this vast city, — times, the like of which have
never been seen sinc^ then !

On the death of Mr. Lawson, which took place in 1825, Dr. Yates was called to preside over the
Church in the Circular Road ; but requiring a change of climate, to recruit his exhausted strength, he
in 1827, suspended his labours by proceeding for a season to his native land by way of America. The
impression produced by him, at this time, upon others was thus recently described in a public Meeting
in London, by the Rev. Dr. Sharpe of Boston, America, at whose house he lived when in that city;
an impression which will be instantly recognized by all, who were at any tune acquainted with him to

CIRCULAR ROAD BAPTIST CHAPEL. 223

as correct to a degree : '* I had the honor," says Dr. Sharpe, '* of receiving Dr. Yates into my house, when
he was on his way to his native land, some years ago. I know from the simplicity of his character, and
the purity of his purposes, and his true and solid learning, that tlie greatest reliance may be placed on
any version he may send out to the World. Of his history in England I know nothing excepting the
following very characteristic anecdote of him, which was communicated to me by a fellow-student of
my own, the Rev. Mr. Mursell, of Leicester, who happened to be then occasionally with him. Mr.
Mursell, knowing in some way or another, (certainly not from Mr. Yates himself) the extraordinary
quantity of work he was accustomed to get through, once said to him : " Well ; Mr. Yates, what
plan do you adopt for the accomplishing of any thing you take in hand ?" In reply to this, he, in his
own quiet and unassuming manner, simply said, ** I have no particular plan, Mr. Mursell, when I
have any thing to do, I go and do it, — that's all."

On his return to this country in 1830, he encountered a violent storm on the passage ; all was conster-
nation on board, and at a time when hope seemed to be lost, the crew and passengers assembled for
prayer. Dr. Yates, who had just at that moment left his cabin, appeared among them with an air so
calm and serene, as to shine in striking contrast with every thing around. The prayer he then offered
was for an immediate answer, whether of life or death ; adding, that whatever was the will of God, all
might be prepared to inherit his glory. The answer was immediate in the abatement of the raging storm.

Dr. Yates, on his return to India, resumed his labours, and among them the pastoral oversight of the
Circular Road Church, and it was then too that he entered upon his work of the translation of the
scriptures, determined to nuike this the one great business of his life. How he carried out his purpose
let the results declare. Within the course of the last fourteen years Dr. Yates translated the whole of the
scriptures into the Bengali language, the whole of the New Testament into Urdu, the same into Hindui,
the same into Sanscrit, and the half of the Old Testament into the same difficult language : and besides
these, he published a large Urdu Grammar, translations of some difficult Sanscrit books, a number
of other works in different languages, and has left partly through the Press, a complete Sanscrit
Dictionary, which when fully printed off, will make a volume of at least 900 pages. How he, with his
constant labours in English preaching accomplished all this, it is impossible to explain. And what
adds to our astonishment is the fact, that he was always very weakly in body, and not unfrequently
laid up by severe indisposition for weeks together. Be it remembered also, that he never encroached
upon the hours required for rest in the night ; never omitted any family duty ; was never absent either
on the sabbath or the week-days from the house of God ; occasionally visited in the evenings his friends,
and read very considerably for the improvement of his own mind. As an instance of the extent of his
reading, it is known from himself that he perused the whole of the four large volumes of the Alif Leila
in the Arabic language shortly after they were published, a task which it may be doubted whether any
one has as yet performed but himself.

In the midst of all these labours, not only was he often afflicted in his own person, but he was not
without his heavy trials in the persons of his family. In 182-1 he was seen to hang over the coffin of
an interesting babe, and weep most bitterly. During his visit to England, he lost another lovely boy.
a child to whom he was so much attached, that the whole of the night previous to his going on board, he
sat np with him on his knees. For a long period too he was severely tried in the illness of his first
vrife, a most prudent and godly woman. Several times she had to leave him in quest of health, and
that for months togetlier. And last of all, his was the sorrowfiil lot of bidding her farewell on board
of ship to see her to return to him no more. She was induced to take a voyage on board of a vessel
commanded by a friend, who has the satisfaction of knowing that he did all in his power to render
comfortable the last days of the excellent wife of such an excellent man. The way in which he felt
her death you will best learn from himself, from a letter written to a friend almost immediately on
being informed she was gone. The following is an extract : —

** For the last three weeks I have been anxiously waiting for their return : and after a long and very
tedious voyage the vessel has arrived, and — has brought me back all my treasures ^ Ah no. They have
thrown into the great deep in the same bay, where your dear father lies, my beloved Catharine, there to
lie till the sea shall give up the dead which are in it. These painful tidings I received the night befoie
last ; and they are the close of a moral and invisible struggle through which my soul has past during
the last two months. The danger has been great ; but the storm is now over, and all is tranquil and
serene. All is right. I received letters from our dear Catharine both from Bombay and Cochin, the
general tenor of which had led me to expect that she would return better in health ; but I learn that
she began to sink before they arrived at Penang, and continued afterwards to get worse till the 22d of
May, when she expired."

** Amidst sorrow and perplexity I can review with great satisfaction, the many happy years God
has permitted us to enjoy each other's society ; and I shall never forget that one in which 1 paid you
a visit at Monghyr. Your dear mother was then alive ; and now, I have no doubt, while we are
separated by the boundaries of time, they have met togetlier in the paradise above, where parting,
painful parting, is known no more. And what more remains for us, but, seeing we are encompassed
with so great a cloud of witnesses, to lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us,
and run with patience the race that is set before us. Our treasures in Heaven are rapidly increasing.
May our hearts be there, and daily prejiaring for their enjoyment."

As a man, Dr. Yates was the most perfect ; one whose powers of mind seemed to be perfectly well
balanced in every particular. Some men are eminent for judgment, some for reasoning, some for
memory, &c. but rarely has it happened, that, in any one man, all the different powers of the mind have
been found in a state of such equal development, or in other words, in a state of such meet proportion
as in him ; — there seemed to be nothing defective or redundant ; but all appeared to be adjusted by the
laws of the nicest harmony, and from the possession of such a mind, it would naturally be expected
there was a corresponding perfection of character and conduct, which indeed, he possessed in a very
uncommon degree. He had none of the eccentricities, nor of the vices which are often found to be

224 CIRCULAR ROAD BAPTIST CHAPEL.

the accompanunents of genius and learning. And as it regards tlie Tirtoes ; he was one of the most
meek, the most gentle, and the most unassuming. No one eTer discerned in him any thing like an
assumption of superiority ; none ever beheld him make any attempt to show off the greatneaa of his
acquirements ; none ever saw him do any thing to inflict a wound upon any of his fellow-craatares.
In his whole appearance and conduct he seemed to be the most harmlos and guileless of men. It was
really a most beeiutifiil sight to see him in company with little prattling children ; with them he was as
one of themselves, and appeared to be mueh interested and delighted with their sayings and doings.

As a Christian, how far his freedom from the vices and his possession of the virtues is to be
ascribed to his having been a subject of saving grace, no human judgment can determine ; but this is
known of Dr. Yates that, self-measured by the law of God, he felt otherwise than perfect. Whilst
those that were around him saw noUiing but excellencies, he appeared to see nothing in himsHf but
sin ; for how humble were his prayers, and how affecting his confessions ! Rarely did he ever speak of
himself, as any thing else than as a poor, guilty, hell-deserving sinner. His whole air and manner
bespoke the humility of his mind as a Chrintian ; and what is no less interesting, there was ever upon
his countenance that which told that he was a man dead to the world, that his heart was not here, and
that he was accustomed to live on terms of the closest communion with Gk>d. Cheerful he could be,
and cheerful he often was ; but more commonly he appeared solemn and thoughtful ; and not onfre-
quently he was so melted, that there was an involuntary gush of tears from his eyes, and sighs of the
most affecting kind from his heart. Repeatedly have his sobs been heard, suppressed though they
always were, whilst he has been listening to the word of €rod, — a duty in which he never fiuled, with
the greatest dcvoutness, candour, and pleasure, to attend.

As a Missionary his whole heart was engaged. During the first years of his residenoe in this oountry,
he laboured, as we have already seen, witlnhe greatest diligence in preaching to the natives both at home
and abroad. Of late years it is true that this was not the case, but then it is to be reooUected, that
owing to his weak state of body, he was no longer able to engage in this laborious employment.
Besides he had a settled conviction that God had particularly called him to the work of translation ;
and to this he gave himself up with all his might. Nothing could divert him from it. The Govern-
ment of India, aware of his great abilities as a linguist, offered him no less a sum than 1000 Rupees
a month, (or ^1200 a year) if he would devote himself wholly to their service in the preparation of
books ; and when this was refused, they offered him 500 Rupees a month, (or ;^600 a year) if he
would give them only half his time : but neither was this accepted. And for what, in a peconiary
sense, did he labour ? At the commencement of his career in India, and until his marriage, he had only,
besides his food and lodging, the small sum of 16 Rupees a month (the penMmal allowance at that
time, of each Missionary at Scrampore) out of which he had to supply himself with dothcs and with
whatever else he might require. For some time after his marriage, he had the merest pittsnoe, not
exceeding, when, (in company with a wife and child,) he took up his residenoe in Calcntta, the sum of
120 Rs. a month, out of which, it is believed, he had to pay house-rent as well as all other expenses.
It is true, that after this, he, through his own exertions and by a somewhat more liberal allowanoe from
the Society, was more amply provided for, yet at the time of his death, he had not, with the exception
of a house-rent free, more than 250 Rupees a month, out of which he had not only to support himself
and family, but had to pay for the education of a son in England. But with this he was abundantly
contented. Poor was he, when he commenced his Missionary career — poor did he live tlirou^iout it,
and poor was he found when it terminated. But he is not poor now.

As a preacher, every discourse he delivered was not only most accurately thought oat, hut every
leading idea, together with much of the filling up, was usually committed to paper. And, as might
have been expected from such a man and from such a method, his sermons were replete with instruc-
tion, with devotional feeling and with sentiments of the purest and most exalted kind. Although his
discourses had not always the power that the efforts of some others have displayed ; whidi was chiefiy
to be attributed to the weakness of his voice, and to the still greater weakness of his body, yet, for
soundness of doctrine, for simplicity of language, for vividness of illustration, for solemnity of manner,
and, above all, for fulness of truth, he was not excelled.

But he is gone, and his end was most affecting. He never intended to leave the country, hat to Hve
and to die in it, in the service of his Lord. It is remembered his having said to a gendemaii who was
about to sail for England : ** I should esteem it one of the greatest calamities that would befall me to
have to go home.'' And he did so regard it. A few hours after his Medical advisers had been with
him, and had given it as their opinion that he ought to return to his native land, a friend called to
see him and the moment he entered the room, he burst out in a fit of the most heart-rending weeping,
and speaking as soon as he was able, he said, **They have condemned me to go home." It n true
that after this he became more reconciled to the measure ; but still it was only the hope that by going
away for a season, he might thereby be enabled to return to his labors with renew e d vigor, that
induced him at all to entertain the project of a voyage. How he felt and spoke daring the last fev
days of his life, we know not, but this is insignificant. We need not a knowledge of the events of his
closing hours to give us the assurance, that it is now well with his meek, gentk, refined, and exalted
spirit. There is, indeed, something painful in the occurrence that he should have died away from his
home and his friends, and that his body, like that of Chamberlain, and the first Mrs. Yates, ahonkl
have been consigned to the sea ; but neither does this import much. His soul is now above the troubled
waters, and his body will at the appointed time, be as certainly raised from the deep, as if it had been
committed to the ground.

O think that while you're weeping here
Her hand a golden harp is stringing,
And with a voice serene and clear
Her ransomed soul without a tear,
Her Saviour's praise is singing ;
And think that all her pains are fled ;
Her toils and sorrow clos'd for ever.
While He whose blood for man was shed.
Has plac'd upon his servant's head
A crown that fadeth never.
Then weep no more for her who's gone.
Where sin and suffering ne'er shall enter ;
But on that great High Priest alone.
Who can for guilt like ours atone,
Your own affections centre.

2U SCOTCH AND DISSENTERS' BURIAL GROUND.

MR. G. BRYNE, Cqf ChitUHrah.)

Mr. Oeori^e Bryne, the subject of the present brief notice, was an East Indian by birtb. He con-
tinued a stranger to real spiritual piety, till nearly 50 years had rolled over his head. His first truly
serious feeling arose from a simple remark of the Rev. H. Townley, who was for some time stationed
at Chinsurah. It was Mr. Bryne's custom often to call on the Missionaries ; one evening seeing them
about to depart for the purpose of preaching, he said to Mr. T. ** Well, sir, I wish jou may meet with
success, and induce some natives to turn Christians.'' — '* Thank you," replied the Missionary, " I joinin
your wish, but I should like to have you become a true Christian as a beginnmg." It pleased God to
fix this remark as the word of conviction on his mind, and from that time he studied, reaid, and prayed,
till he became a Christian of no common growth and spirituality. The illness which preceded his dis-
solution was long and trying, and he gradually sunk into the grave. The various ministers and religi-
ous friends who visited him, gave one united testimony — " Surely this is a child of God/'

His remains lie entered in the Scotch Burial Ground.

The following is (he Inscription on his tomb : —

Mr. Qeo. Bryne, Obit 28th November 1833, ^t. 62.
** For if we believe that Jesns died and rose again ; even so them also
which sleep in Jesus, will God bring with him." — ^Thess. iv. 14.

DEATH OF W. T. BEEBY, ESa AND OF THE REV. R. GIBSON ; {VicHmt to thai dread.

ful scourgey the Cholera,)

Mr. Beeby was seized with it late on Monday the 28th February, 1842, and within 8 hoiur», life
was extinct.

Mr. Gibson, who resided in the same house with Mr. Beeby, had, to all human appMrance, aiyoyed
perfect health on Monday, but next morning complained of indi^sition, which hii firiands munly
attributed to the sorrow with which the sudden illness and death of Mr. B. must have filled hia mind.
He thought himself, however, sufficiently well to attend Mr. Beeby's fimeraL When he entered tiie
room where the lifeless remains of his late friend had been placed previous to their remOTal for inter-
ment, he gave utterance to the violent grief he felt, in a manner which led some of the byatanden to
apprehend lest the scene should prove too harrowing for him. In a short time, however, he became
more tranquil and seemed composed, whilst the Rev. T. Boaz performed the services at Mr. Hiss'
house. After the funeral procession had reached the grave the Rev. Dr. Yates commenoed deliver-
ing an appropriate address, in the course of which he quoted that solemn word of antiquity ; *' In tht
midst of life we are in death," <' or rather," proceeded Dr. Y. ** in the midat of life death ia in as."
"Whilst this sentence was uttered, Mr. Gibson fainted away, and being witii difficulty prevented from
falling, sat down on the nearest tomb till he could be a little revived. A death-like pakneu marked
his countenance, — ^he seemed to be literally sinking into the grave ready to receive him. After the
lapse of a few moments, his strength had sufficiently returned to allow of his being led away, and con-
veyed to Dr. Yates' house, where he had spent the greater part of the day. In a few honra, it became
evident that he had been seized with the fatal disease. Repeatedly during the brief interval that was
left, a hope was entertained that his life might yet be spared. But notwithstanding his robnat oonstita-
tion all the efforts of his friends and medical attendants proved vain, and at about half-past deven next
day, the spirit fled from its earthly tenement.

During the last hours of his life Mr. Gibson repeatedly expressed hope and lentimenti becoming
one who relied upon the atonement made by Jesus Christ. He seemed to derive much pleonie from
a prayer offered up at his request by one of his associates. Turning to his bearer who was attending
upon him, he exclaimed with all the emphasis which he had steng^ left to manifest : " If I could but
speak your language I would tell you about Jesus Christ." His thoughts evidenidy were often fixed
upon the Church of which he was about to take the oversight, and in one of hia ejacnlationB he gave
utterance to the strong desire he felt that it might be animated by a prayerful, nnited* and devoted
spirit. In the evening of the same day, he was buried. ** Verily every man at his best state is
altogether vanity."

Minute rrferring to the death ofMessrs^ Beeby and Gibson^ at a Meeting ^ qfthe Committee qf the
Baptist Missionarg Society, held at Fen Court, May bth, 1842

" That the Committee receive, with profound submission to the holy wiU of God, the deeply afflictive
tidings from Calcutta of the decease of their honoured and highly esteemed associate, W. T. Beeby,
Esq., and of their beloved missionary, the Rev. R. Gibson. In these events they desire to view the
hand of an infinitely wise though inscrutable Providence ; and while smitten by these nnezpected and
repeated strokes, to say with devout resignation, ** Even so, Father, for so it seooaeth good in thy
sight." They record with affectionate remembrance the sense they entertain of the vahiahle services
rendered to the Mission by the former of their departed friends, both in this country and in India, and
of the unfeigned piety, generosity, discretion and urbanity, whidi uniformly marked his character ; and
they most respectfully offer their Christian condolence to his widow and fti^y, vrith tiieir fervent
prayers for them under this affecting bereavement. Of the latter they dierish msny pleasurable recol-
lections, connected with his early piety, ministerial endowments, and entire consecration to the service
of God, and express their lively sympathy both with his relatives, and with tiie dinrch in Caleatta, of
which he was just about to assume the pastoral office, and with the whole missioDarj band, who have
thus been again called to sustain so severe a loss."

JAMES MEIK, Esa. M. D.

Dr. Meik entered the service in 1783, and died at the age bordering upon eighty. Although in
Dr. Meik's professional career there was nothing to distinguish him above his fellows either aa to
research or dazzling abilities, his retired habits, his mild unassuming and yet prepossessing manners,
had secured him the affection and respect of all who knew him.

There was something in the soft and venerable countenance of this much respected man so strikingly
beautiful that we never saw him in the evening of his life without being reminded of the Patriarchs of
old. Dr. Meik has left a large family ; three of his sons are in Her Majesty's service in India. Dr.
Meik was a highly esteemed and much respected Physician and departed this life on the afternoon of
the 25th of April, 1837.

The following Inscription marks his grave :

Sacred to the Memory of Jamea Meik, Esq.
late Senior Member of the Medical Board in Bengal,

THE LATE WILLIAM LENNOX CLELAND, ESQ.

Mr. Clalaad was born at Paddington (London), in the year 1797. He was the eldest son of Wal-
ter Cleland, a merchant who had formerly resided in Calcutta. In consequence of the ill-health of hb
fiither, hii early education was superintended by the Earl of Buchan, till the death of his parent, when
he entered the High School, Edinburgh. In the year 1818, he commenced his study for the English bar,
to wMch he was called in 1822. In December of the same year, he sailed for Bombay, and removed
firom thence to Calcutta in 1824, where he remained as a Barrister during his life.

Though Mr. Cleland was always what would be considered a moral man, it was not till about three
years before his death, that his character received a decided change, when he became a sincere Chris-
tian. This change in his character was owing chiefly to his own private and serious reflection. He
possened that stnking feature of a true follower of Jesus, deep solicitude for the welfare of others. He
was anxious that all should be made acquainted with the truths of the Gospel. Amongst the heathen
he contributed liberally, and supported at his own expense a Native School in which were more than
one hundred boys ; nor did he overlook the temporal wants of the needy ; he subscribed to almost every
public charity, and in how many ways relieved the necessitous, fed the hungry, clothed the naked, was
known only to himself and to his God.

Mr. Cleland was drowned by the upsetting of his boat in a gale in the river near Culna, and his
body was afterwards found and interred in the Scotch Burial Ground.

T^ following Inscription is inscribed on his monument : —

Sacred to the Memory of IViUiam Xiennox Cleland, Esq.

the care of Dr. T. May at Enfield, where he received a solid education for several years. In the year
1821 he was removed to Greneva for the purpose of being under the instruction of the Rev. C. MUan,

ly devoted himself to his ministry; at Geneva, he first commenced his duties, and in 1823 proceeded
to Glasgow to complete his studies ; in 1824 he removed to St. Andrew's, where he had the privilege of
listening to the eloquent lectures of Dr. Chalmers. While there he formed an acquaintance with John
Urquhart, and other devoted men, who raised the Missionary standard in that University. This led to
the important decision of devoting his talents to the Missionary work. He next removed to Homer-
ton and pursued his studies under Dr. Pye Smith. After various projects, India was fixed upon to be
the scene of his labours, for which service he embarked in 1828. For the space of two years Mr. A.
pursued with unremitting xeal, and great success : he had just commenced addressing the natives in
their own tongue, on the wonderful works of God when it pleased a mysterious but all-wise Providence
to remove him fi-om the scene of his labours to that of his reward, on Thursday the 21st April 1831,
after an illness of only a few days. As a man, a Christian, and a Missionary of the cross of Christ, he
was greatly beloved by all who knew him ; and from his piety and other qualifications for the work in
which he was engaged, combined with the zeal, enterprise, and perseverance he evinced in its prosecu-
tion, great hopes were entertained of his future usefulness. But He, whose ways are not as our ways,
and whose thoughts are not as our tlioughts, saw fit to disappoint all those expectations which had
been raised so highly respecting him, and at the very moment when he seemed prepared for effective
service, to call him hence. We however, may rest assured, that the cause which this excellent man
had so much at heart, for which, with each continued effort he had prepared himself, and to promote
which, he was willing to live, labour, suffer, and die, — is infinitely dearer to God, than it was to him,
or is to any who mourn his loss.

Speaking of the deceased, the Rev. Mr. Hill (in a funeral] sermon on the death of Mr. Adam) observed
'* That he was a Christian of no common growth, no mean stature, no dwarfish standard of excellence.
By persons who judge of character by rank or station in society, or by the advantitious ornaments of
exterior embellishments, he would probably have been overlooked. He had nothing sparkling, nothing
meritorious about him, but of piety the most ardent, sincere and unostentatious ; of zeal the most
fervent, enlightened and benevolent, of the deepest and most unaffected humility ; of unshrinking, un-
compromising integrity ; in a word, if meekness, gentleness, charity, faith, love, purity, would place
any man in the rank of high moral excellence, that station, belonged to him. These remarks are not
made at random or from a slight and superficial knowledge of his character, but from the closest inti-
macy formed from daily intercourse, and I can, observed Mr. Hill, my conscience bearing me witness
before God, that in private, and public, in solitude and society, in the devotions of the closet, the la-
hours of the study, or the active exertions of a Christian Missionary, I have never seen so perfect an
exhibition of Christian excellence as in him : it was next to impossible to come into his company,
without feeling the force and energy of his Christian principles ; these pervaded his whole character, and
gave it a beauty, simplicity, grace, and dignity which words do but feebly express.''

REV. G. B. PARSONS— (Xa/tf Missionary at Monghyr,)

To those who have been nearly acquainted with emmently pious and useful labourers in the Church of
Christ, it is a pleasing but mournful task to record the dealings of Divine Providence with them, and the
work of divine grace in them for the information of others. Perhaps, where an available medium is at
hand it is even a duty. Biography has been extensively used by infinate wisdom in Scripture both for
our warning and encourgement, and can w6 do right to reject such an example .'

The Rev. George Barton Parsons was bom on January 23rd, 1813, at Laverton, a small village in the
county of Somerset, England. His beloved and honored parents were both eminently pious, and truly
exemplary in the management of their children, and to their example and early instructions must be
attributed much that shown in the character of their son ; at an early age, therefore, George was placed
at a boarding school where he remained till his fourteenth year. He was afterwards placed with a
respectable tradesman at Frome, Somerset. Here he enjoyed the advantages of a strict watchfulness
over his whole conduct, and of a faithful gospel ministry.

Mr. Parsons had for some time felt a hope of being engaged in the Missionary work, yet his retiring
disposition would not permit him to take the first step in introducing him. It was therefore wisely
and kindly arranged by Divine Providence that one of the deacons pressed the matter closely upon him.
This he considered a call from God, and he was quite willing to comply with it. He therefore consented
to an examination before Dr. Collison, theological tutor of Hackney College, by whom he was highly
recommended to the Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society, and accepted by them. At their
request, he entered Bristol Academy in April 1834 ; during the three years of his residence there, he
devoted himself to his studies with unwearied diligence, oftentimes closely engaged for successive days
and weeks during sixteen hours in the twenty-four.

After the time of his leaving Bristol an application being made by the Church at Torrington, in
Devonshire, for a person to supply them for three months, Mr. Parsons was recommended thither. He
entered on his brief charge with great fidelity and ardour, and it pleased the Lord to use his efforts as

the means of a great awakening and revival. In October 1837, he entered, according to the trmnge.
meats of the Committee, on three classes at tlie London University, those of Hebrew, Mental Fhiloso-
phy, and Mathematics, in all wliich departments, but especially the first, he gained considereble honors.

In June 1838, he received an intimation from the Committee through his revered aade. Rev. John
Dyer, to prepare to leave his native land, for India. His ordination took place at Frome on the 3lst
July 1838, during the period of the Missionary meetings. Respectiug his own feelings at thia time to
leave a beloved widowed mother, and affectionate brothers and sisters was to him no small trial, but he
had counted the cost ; on the subject he thus writes :

*' Wlien I see the tears starting into the eyes of my beloved, affectionate mother, thongh she is
evidently trying to supiiress them, the first tliought at such a aight is, ought I to inflict soch pain on
one to whom I ought to be a solace ? yet to draw back would be a deeper settled pang. It is only by
bringing the light of eternity and the truths of the Bible to bear on the point that we can find relief.
It is when we can realize a ruined world, a bleeding Saviour, a final judgment, to be intimately con-
nected with us as Missionaries, — that it seems a matter of little importance where we spend our lives,
and of all-absorbing interest how we spend them ; that the pangs of parting, the tears of absent friendi
and the endearments of home seem a small sacrifice contrasted with the invaluable privilege of declar-
ing among the Heathen the unsearchable riches of Christ." On the 14th of August he was united in
marriage to Sophia, eldest daughter of Mr. Joseph Rawlins, of London, and on the 22nd September
embarked for Calcutta, with his beloved partner and several Missionary associates and Christian friend&
During the voyage, which was performed uuder peculiarly favourable circumstances, he applied hink-
self to the Hindustani language, so that before reaching India he had attained a knowledge of its con-
struction and could read and translate with facility.

Mr. Parsons arrived in India on the 22nd of February 1839. His ultimate destination was Monghyr,
a spot rendered peculiarly attractive to him for having been the scene of the brief bat devoted labours
of an endeared relative, whose bright example had not a little stimulated his desires in early life for Mis-
sionary service. In accordance, however, with the wiah of the Committee in En^and, that should Cal-
cutta require his aid he would remain there for a few months. Finding the Mission in Calcutta weakened
by the death of Mr. Penney and the removal of Mr. G. Pearce, he complied with tiie invitation of the
brethren to share their labours until Mr. W. H. Pearce should arrive from England. With his cha-
racteristic ardour, and inspired with the high and holy motive which ever governed him, labouring
whether present or absent to be accepted of God, he entered on his work in Calcutta, and although
suffering from the unhealthy influence of the climate during the most unfavourable seasons of the year,
his zeal knew no abatement. The arrival of the beloved and lamented Mr. FMurce and his Bfissionary
associates in the month of September freed Mr. Parsons from his engagements in Calcutta, and he
accordingly proceeded to Monghyr ; with renewed strength from the voyage on the river he reached his
long desired station on the 26th of November.

In a month after his arrival in Monghyr, he was enabled to speak to the Natives in dieir own tongue,
of the unsearchable riches of Christ, and this he continued \mtil laid aside by that ■iftV"^w which ter-
minated his brief earthly career. Agpreeably to the desire of friends in England, who had nosed funds
for the purpose, he had succeeded in gathering around him a little band of native orphan childien, in
the fiill confidence that a blessing would follow careful training, faithful instruction and fbrrent prayer ;
and that so, under the Spirit of God, these little ones would become witnesses for the truth in this land
of darkness. Two and often three hours of every day were spent with these children endeavouring to
convey si)iritual instruction to their minds in the most attractive form. With this view he commenced
a series of Bible stories, which, by engaging the attention, afforded an opportunity daily of bringing
home some weighty truth to the conscience. These exercises were truly delightful to hmi ; he would
often remark, ** Whilst I endeavour to instruct them, I am myself taught ; they are as texts to me for
more public ministrations.' ' It will not be necessary to enter into a further narration ai Mr. Fs
engagements at Monghyr : it was not by great and mighty deeds tliat he expected to serve his Divine
master in the Mission Field, so much as by a daily exemplification of the graces of a Christian diarac-
ter, but he was soon called by a discharge of active duties, by a protracted course of incrsaslnf weak-
ness. On the 14th of July 1840, his disease, which eventually proved to be consnmptioii, aarameda
decidedly alarming character ; for three weeks his bodily sufferings were acute, but his mind waa kept in
})erfect i)€ace, stayed on God. He remarked, '* though I am weak, itu my comfort to knoir that CSirist
is all ; I can rest on him, though I cannot collect my thoughts to pray or meditate the promlaey ' Ye
are complete in Him, perfect in Him is my confidence ; he answers all demands.' "

On the 13th of August he removed to Bbaugulpore ; about the latter end of October it beosme evideat
that disease was making rapid progress ; the Medical men at Bbaugulpore gave their decided opiniaa
that a voyage to Europe afforded the only hope of prolonging life. Such was the heavenlj state of his
mind, that he heard this decision with perfect composure, and replied, " The will of the Lord be
done.'' At another time he said, ** I have much to be thankfiil for in the pleasure and sfristiw^f I
enjoyed in preaching at Monghyr, all the glory be to God, and may all the sins connected with it be
forgiven for Jesus' sake ! O how my heart clung to Monghyr. I never expected to spend a hqipier
period on earth then I spent there. * As the eagle stirreth up her nest' — ^no, my nest was not stirred
up, but God gently and tenderly took me out of it. He led me to the retirement of tiiis place, and
whilst my disease has been developing he has been bringing down my stubborn will, so that, with all
my clinging of heart to that spot, I can now calmly yield it up, and having no will but God's will, can
say and feel, ' It is well,' and as it regards the orphan children, I know it ahall be well with them.
God has greatly enlarged my heart in prayer for them and encouraged my confidence that He will be
especially their guide and teacher now."

Whilst on the river, moring towards Calcutta, he revived considerably, and his mind naturally
adverted to the possibility of recovery, and he said, ** should a measure of health be again granted I
am sure I would not choose my field of hibour ; I can s^iy with sincerity. Lord send me whither thou wilt

SCOTCH AND DISSENTERS' BURIAL GROUND. 239

— to America, to New Zealand, to Africa, any where so that I may work for thee ; and yet if I have one
desire above another it is to instruct the poor in my native village, and comfort the declining years of
my beloved mother. His last earthly Sabbath was one of pre-eminent enjoyment, a foretaste of that
eternal Sabbath which was so soon to open upon him in all its glory and blessedness. He was strength,
ened to engage with Mr. Moore in leading devotional exercises, and his pleadings for the different com-
munities with which he had enjoyed ChHstian fellowship in India, were most humble and fervent.
He also wrote a farewell letter to the Native Church at Monghyr.

Mr. Parsons reached Calcutta on the 12th of November 1840, and was removed to the house of
Isaiah Biss, Esq. The following morning almost all the Mission circle came to see him. Towards
evening, the Rev. Mr. Yates came ; he was the only one absent in the morning ; Mr. Yates read the
116th Psalm and then offered up a prayer, solemn as though kneeling beside the dying couch of his
suffering brother. Mr. Parsons retired soon afterwards, referring to the prayer, he said, ** How
consolatory ! how beautiful ! how I enjoyed it ! Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of
his saints." He seemed to feel acutely the afflictions that had come upon the Mission. Though his
words were few, they were in this spirit; ** Gladly would I yield up my life, if so God might be
honored and souls saved." He then spent some time in intensely fervent prayer ; when he ceased,
though much exhausted his countenance was expressive of calm delight and heavenly repose on God,
as though having cast all his care upon Him no cloud of anxiety could ever again overshadow his tran-
quil spirit. He prepared for rest. His sleep was unusually sweet and peaceful and a placid smile was
on his features. This sleep continued for nearly two hours, when it was interrupted by the cough which
came on with considerable violence and occasioned the rupture of a blood-vessel. Observing the anxiety
of those around him, he said with uncommon energy, " I am not afraid." His eyes instantly closed,
and he spoke no more.

THE LATE REVEREND JOHN MACDONALD.— rO/" the Free Church Mimon.)
The Rev. John Macdonald was bom in Edinburgh in Scotland in 1807, but subsequently he
removed to Rosshire with his father, well known in those parte as the apostle of the Highlands, who
had been appoftited there in charge of Gaelic Chapel ; up to his twelfth year his education was diiefly
superintended by his father ; for sometime however, he was also under the tuition of a tutor of the
same name, but in 1819, he was removed to Aberdeen with a view of completing his theological and
general studies ; sometime after he began his labours in the character of a tuitor in a private family.
In the year 1825, at the eamest request of his father, (who \^ ought to be steted, is still alive,) he
commenced the study of the Gaelic language to be enabled to embark as a preacher among the High-
landers. These studies, however, were interrupted by a call which he received to assume the oversight
of a congregation in Islington. He accepted the offer and continued in the faithful discharge of his
pastoral functions at the &:oteh Church, River Terrace, Islington, till the year 1837. It was, however,
about ten years previous to that period that Mr. Macdonald conceived the idea of embarking as a
Missionary in foreign lands. The interval offered no suiteble opportunity for his gratifying this desire,
but in 1837, when Dr. Duff was at home, at his sugg^tion the Committee of the General Assembly for
Foreign Missions proposed to Mr. Macdonald, that he should come out to India as a Missionary. He
closed with the proposal without hesitetion, and though his flock at Islington strongly urged him to the
contrary, on the ground of the success his labours had there produced and their attachment to him,
his determination remained unalterable. The year following he embarked for and arrived in Calcutte.

The one predominating idea which Mr. Macdonald unceasingly strove to realize in his conduct, and
which formed the mling principle of his life, was that he was the servant of the Lord. His stem,
undeviating, intense devotion and faithfulness to the service of his Master marked his character with an
attribute almost approaching to sublimity. It possessed the essential qualities which form the hero and
the martyr. He was ready to brave any thing and every thing in doing what he felt to be incumbent
on him as a servant. His only enquiry was whether any particular line of proceeding was the will of
his Master and consistent with his revealed word. The moment this was decided, he deliberately and
determinately prepared to follow out the course thus ascertained. Had he lived in the ancient times
of persecution, his zeal and devotedness would certainly have earned for him the crown of martyrdom.
From the time of his arrival in India it is believed he never quitted Calcutta, but laboured assidu-
ously in the Institution and pastorate till the arrival, a short time since, of the Rev. Mr. Mackail. In
each of these departments of Missionary exertion he has been honoured to do much good ; his talents
and acquiremente were rare, but his chief claim to public consideration was his uniform goodness.
Preaching was pre-eminently his calling, theology was his delight. Blessed with eminently religious
parents and early opportunities for cultivating an acquaintance with the best writers on Iiis favourite
study, he shewed he had proved bis armour when he had entered the field. With an athletic frame,
a countenance beaming with benignity and intelligence, and perfect command of himself, few, if any of
bis contemporaries excelled him in ease of delivery. Often eloquent, always perspicuous and earnest,
he preached as one anxious to win souls. A great man has been teken from us ; a devoted Christian,
a firm friend and useful minister. His loss will be deeply felt in the noble Institution which he has
assisted in building up. His residence in India is of comparatively short duration, not exceeding ten
years ; bow quick shifting is society in this land I

In adverting to tlie last hours of hU existence he was conscious of approaching dissolntion and was
prepared for the awful cliange. Shortly before he breathed his last, he was asked if he wished a chapter
of the Bible to be read to him ; he replied, '* Not at present — that his mmd was not in a itate to grap-
ple with the 8ul)ject, but that it was all right with him ; he knew whom he trusted."

His remains were interred in the Scotch Burial Ground on the evening of Wednesday the Itt
September 1847, amongst a most crowded attenilance on the mournful occasion, including all the
ministers and Missionaries of the different denominations in Calcutta, and even clergymen bekmjging to
the Established Church of England,— in honor of one who was so extensively beloved and admired for
his eminent talents and his still more eminent piety and virtues.

The Monument erected over his grave bears the following Inscription : —

In Memory of the Ilov. John Macdonald,

Missionary Mitiister of the Free Church of Scotland, who was bom in Edinburgh on the

17th of Feb. 1807, landed in Calcutta on the 4th of Feb. 1838, and who fell

asleep in Jesus on the 1st of September 1847.

MRS. HILL.

Mrs. Hill, wife of the Rev. M. Hill, acting Pastor of the Union Chapel of Calcutta, waa converted
to God at the age of fourteen. A faithful and Evangelical clergyman, the Rev. Clement Leigh, Rector
of Newcastle, Staffordshire, who had been appointed to the Church she attended, waa eminently usefiil
to her during this process of spiritual regeneration, by guiding the young convert into the jMfliiret o/
the Lardy where she found the proper food for her soul. To the period of her death, she dierished
the most grateful feelings towards that venerable servant of God. And she became one of that good
man's active auxiliaries in every scheme for the spiritual and temporal benefit of his pariahionen. Mn.
Hill's acquaintances were mostly dissenters; and Mr. Hill first became acquainted with her tfarooj^
the introduction of an independent Minister. Her religion was fraught with deep humility and ooo-
trition, tempered vrith lively faith in the Redeemer, and accompanied by constant breathinga and striv-
ings after holiness. Spiritual-mindedness, a prayerful disposition, an active and operattTe fiaith, and
charity in its widest sense, were the peculiar characteristics of her life.

On her arrival in India, March 1822, her husband was located at the London Missionary Society's
station. Tally Gunge, 5 miles south of Calcutta, where she had commenced a girl'a School, whea
in the beginning of 1824, the Diocesan Committee, at the request of Biahop Hebtr, solicited the
London Missionary Society to transfer the station to the Society for the propagation of the Giospel in
foreign parts. Mrs. Hill then accompanied her husband to Berhampore, where her life as a Mission-
ary may be said to have commenced. The erection of her first native girl's school orcwkmed a great
commotion in the community ; from i^veral quarters, both the Civil and Military authorltiflB were peti-
tioned to remove it. Mrs. Hill had at one time several native girl's schoob and also a Portngaeae girl's
school under her superintendence. This latter was kept up for years whilst Berhampore oonttnoed
a depot for European troops. The former were at length resigned for the female orphan asylum,
which, with the Christian village, fully occupied her time. Useful as were her lahoura in these adhools,
they were still more blessed in the instruction of women from the Barracka of the European troops,
among whom many have died in the faith who before were destitute of Godliness, and otihera atiU live
to praise God for her faithful and affectionate instruction. Nor were her efforts confined to the humbler
classes of society ; among the rich there were some who had been thoughtless and gay who haTC attri-
buted their conversion to the subject of this obituary notice.

For several successive years Mrs. Hill accompanied her husband in his itinerancies, in which she
journied hundreds of miles, and never repined at the difficulties inseparable from traveUing in tents.

Her success in administering medicines to the sick natives brought upon her incessant employment,
and at more halting-places than one she has had upwards of 250 patients in a day ; her arriral at the
next encamping groimd was hailed by all, and her departure lamented by many who had coma
too late to obtain her assistance ; in this way, as well as by distributing tracts and occaaionally gaitung
access to the respectable females of the first native families, she fiacilitated her huaband's laboon
in preaching the Gospel. From the moment of her arrival in Calcutta, she took a very active part
in the Calcutta Dorcas Society, whose aim it is to furnish the poor with articles of clothing ; aad
to the period of her death, she was one of its most efficient members. Her prayers for others were
incessant, and how earnestly she longed for the conversion of the souls committed to die pastoral
charge of her husband, the following conversation with a friend, a few days befbre she was taken ill,
will shew. She came in after paying some of her visits of love, and with an ezpresnon of deqpfelt
grief, said, " Ah ! Mr, Lacroix^ tell mc what is the reason that though my dear husband and mysdf
have been here nearly six months, we see no souls converted ; whilst at Berhampore, we were privi-
leged and rejoiced to see at least now and then some one turn to the Lord?" Mr. L. ende a v o ured to
(•oinfort her by saying that the efforts put forth were not lost, and that God would qfterwtnrdt cause the
seed sown to spring up, and to bear fruit. '* May the Ix)rd grant it !" she added.

As an instance of Mrs. Hill's active disposition and anxiety to do good it deserves to be noticed, tiiat
when in England some years ago, she originated, with the aid of some other ladies, the Walthamstow
Institution for the education of the daughters of Missionaries. Such an Institution had been Calked of;
hut (he projectors had been discouraged and given up the scheme, slie roused the latent, but expiring seal,
and did not rest till the plan was brought to maturity. Her own two daughters formed the nucteus
around which other Misbionary children gathered.

SCOTCH AND DISSENTERS' BURIAL GROUND. 241

Hie following brief sketch of her dying hours will best show the state of her mind in respect to these
faingB.

At an early stage of the disease, Mrs. Hill became conscious of her approaching end, and expressed
;rett concern for her youngest daughter's spiritual welfare, breathing out in tlie following manner, ** O
Bj diild if I knew that your heart was given to God, I could depart in peace,'' " O if she were a
IdU of Crod, I feel I could desire no greater happiness." ** I have prayed much, much for her."

On another occasion she remarked, " Oh ! this dreadful feeling of faintne^s ; but it will not be for
ret ; I am daily getting weaker." Mr. Lacroix, who was present, answered : — ** I hope the Lord has
ct much work for you to do ; — ^we do not feel as if we could spare you yet. We want your prayers
nd your counsels to animate us to greater zeal." She replied, *' Me ! to animate you indeed ! I
ATC been an unprofitable servant. I have done nothing for my Saviour's cause. I have lived too
inch to myself. Oh ! that I had loved souls more."

On the Sabbath week mommg preceding her death, having passed a restless night of pain and suffer-
ig, she said, ** now I feel easier, isn't it a mercy ?" After a while, she heard a sound of singing, and
iaed her head and enquired, *' Am I dreaming, or is it music I hear ? It seems so soft, so sweet
nd heavenly ?" Mrs. Parker answered, ** service has commenced at Chapel." She added, ** what must be
tie heavenly choir, if on earth it sounds so sweet !" She looked at Mrs. P. with a sweet expression
nd replied ; — ** Ah I we must first be there to comprehend its sweetness ! No sin there ; all will be
oly ! This world would be beautiful, but it suffers from the effects of sin. O to be freed from
in!"

On another occasion, she said, ** my mind seems wandering : I cannot fix my thoughts. I want
Jhriat always present to my mind ; but this suffering body seems to engross my thoughts," then
iddenlj, as if recollecting herself, she exclaimed, '* Lord Jesus ! give me a spirit of resignation and
abmisaiony keep me from repining. What are my sufferings in comparison with thine .' Mine are
le deserts of my sin ; but thou wert pure and holy, and suffered for fallen guilty sinners. If ever I
B aKwedf it will be through the sovereign grace of God. He first loved me !"

Not m single day passed without her breathing after holiness, and complaining of the sinfulness of
IT Iwsrt. On the Sabbath prior to her death, she seemed in an exceedingly sweet frame of mind.
con slier Mrs. Parker entered her room, she asked her, " How does Mr. Hill bear the tidings?"
nnm^g the prospect of losing her.) Mrs. P. replied, *' he has all the consolations of the Gospel to
qyport him, andyou know that theyare neither few nor small." She said, " I feel for him in his present
aut state; he has been buoying himself up with fallacious hopes of my recovery. May the Lord take
UPB of him when I am gone ! I have been but a poor helper to him, and fallen far short of my duties
I so kind and faithful a friend !"

lUs dsy her will and affections seemed entirely swallowed up in her Ijord's will. After expressing
sr wishes with regard to some temporal concerns, relative to her family, she said : '* Now, I have
illMhig on my mind. I feel quite4iappy," &c.

It seems thst shortly before her death, the powers of darkness attempted to distress her and to

Am the hour of her departure drew near, the pains caused by her spasms were very severe, and she
ied oat ; " patience, patience." Her husband then again prayed with her ; and though the pain still
omad excmdating, she said ; " It is the Lord. It is the Lord," — but could not finish wiUi : '^ let

of the Divine approbation and blessing. As a counsellor, too, in all circumstanoes of providential
difficulty or embarrassment, she was always faithful, and often displayed no ordinary degree of eouBd
practical wisdom. In her somewhat sudden removal from this vals of tears, to her heavoily Fatlier's
house, with its many mansions, her husband and chUdren have been left to sorrow, — ^thong^ not as
others who have no hope— over the loss of their best, and kindest, and most considerate earthly
friend ; and the Church and Mission to which she more particularly bdonged, over the departure of
one of their best earthly benefactors and most devoted evangelical labourers."

In Memory of Mary Hill, wife of the Rev. Micaiah Hill, of the
London Missionary Society, and acting Pastor of the Union Chapel Dhurromtollah ;

Obit. 7th Sept. 1847, ^t. 57 years.

This Monument is erected by the Church and Congregation, from respect and esteem for

her Christian virtues, and Missionary zeal, in establishing and superintending

Religious Schools, both for heathen children and for poor Christian females,

during a period of 24 years, at Berhampore ; and also to record

their grateful remembrance of the deep interest she took in the spiritual and temporal welfere

of the people ; among whom, in the providence of God, she came for a time

to reside, and among whom, she closed her earthly career of usefulness and Christian benevolenee.

JAMES KYD, ESQ., Ship Builder.

Mr. Kyd was the son of the late General Kyd of the Bengal Engineers (whose Mansoleiim Ibrms
an elegant object in the Company's Botanic Garden, which he laid out) and was universally recognised
as the head of the East Indian class, to which he belonged, quando ullum invenient parem. But tk»
high esteem in which he was regarded, was not confined to his own class ; it followed him eifetj where,
for it was the natural and spontaneous tribute to a most benevolent disposition, associated mm talents
of no mean character, which pointed him out for selection as a member of almost every pnbUe oont-
mittee. The cliarities of this really good man were not ostentatious, nor were they distribnted witli a
lavish hand ; they were the silent bounty of a kind heart that could not brook the sight of wratcfaedness
and sympathised with distresses which he well understood ; they were numerous and c on tinoal, and
well applied ; at one time rescuing from starvation the poor refugees of Saugorandtfae Soonderbona, who
flocked to Kidderpore after the inundation of 1833 ; at another, offering an aaylom to womd filiiMllMi
European, not for a day but for months, till employment could be ftund to procure him a maintenanee;

Mr. Kyd from a boy was brought up to the trade of a ship -builder. He came oat firom England in
1800, as an assistant to Mr. Waddell, the Company's Master-builder, who had then the same yard at
Kidderpore, which afterwards, on Mr. Waddell*s retirement in 1807, became the property of the two
brothers, Messrs. James and Robert Kyd, who succeeded him. From this yard was laoncbed the
Hastings 74, the only line of battle ship ever built in Calcutta, a ship built by private snbeeripCkm
among the merchants and afterwards sold to His Majesty's Grovemment. In 1814, Mr. Kyd made a
voyage to England in another fine ship, the '* (General Kyd," of his construction the year before, and
during the voyage an accident occurred which tended further to establish his reputation with the
Admiralty and the East India Company. On nearing St. Helena the Semiramis frigaXe (the Commo-
dore's ship) having on board Sir John Cradock, ex-Governor of the Cape, ran foul of the Vaniittart,
an Indiaman of 1200 tons, and was so much injured by the shock, that she was with diJBcnlty carried
into St. Helena in a sinking state. To repair her there, was thought impossible, and it was *»w idffi of
the utmost consequence not to delay the fleet, which consisted of seventeen sail ; on the other H»i! ,
this being war time, and the property afloat worth some millions sterling, to proceed without the
convoy ship would have involved great risk and very serious responsibility. Mr. Kyd was consvlted ;
he examined the frigate and undertook to repair her damages, if all the carpenters of the fleet were
placed at his disposal, and to the astonishment of every body he got the vessel lor sea in afaont ten
days. It may well be supposed, he might have bargained for a large lum as the value of the euiku
he performed ; but no remuneration did he ever ask for. He had, however a higher gratiflcathm in
receiving the thanks of the Commodore, of the East India Company and of the Admiralty, tOBOtmrnd. in
the most complimentary language and the compliments of the Admiralty were accompanied with a Silver
Salver, valued at a hundred guineas, bearing the device of a Ship and an appropriate Inscriptioau Mr.
Kyd was held in high respect by the Marquis of Hastings, who paid him considerable **titnHfm in
society. Mr. Kyd published a pamphlet many years ago vrith the object of inducing yonng men of fab
own class to imitate his example and betake ^mselves to handycraft more generally 0ii» thsj were
wont to do.

Mr. Kyd died at Kidderpore from a disease in the knee, and his remains were interred in the Scotch
Burial Ground on the 26th day of October 1836.

The following letters will shew the high esteem in which Mr. Kyd was held by the Govemment and
those who presided over the affairs of India.

Admirilty Office, 2d March, 1815.

Sir, — Captain Thonub Priggs of His Majesty's Ship '* LcTiathan," having in his letters ofthe 25th of
last month, represented to me for the information of my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the
very meritorious and indefatigable exertions made by you, not only in the exercise of your profes-
sional abilities as a ship builder, but by personally working yourself in repairing the damages sustained
by his Majesty's ship Semiramis, in consequence of her being run on board by the " Vansittart"
Indiaman, in May last, off St. Helena, I have it in command from my Lords, to express to you their
thanks for your conduct upon the occasion above mentioned, and, at the same time I am to request
that you will accept of a piece of plate of the value of one hundred guineas, from my Lords, in which
will be inscribed a suitable testimony of their Lordship's approbation of your conduct in the instance
in question.

I am, &c.
(Signed,) J. W. Crokbr.

Sir, — The Court of Dire-ctors of the East India Company have received a letter from Captain
Charles Richardson, late Commander of his Majesty's Ship Sermiramis, stating, that in his passage
home last year with the India Convoy, the Semiramis received so much damage to windward of
St. Helena, that it was with the greatest difficulty she could be kept afloat till the next day, when she
was towed into the roads ; that you offered your professional services to repair the damages ; which
you performed in so masterly a manner and with such celerity, that the convoy was not delayed by the
accident.

in obedience to the Court's command I have to express the very high sense they entertain of your
meritorious conduct in the instance above adverted to, and to assure yon that the Court will feel very
great satisfaction in communicating to the Bengal Government the favorable opinion they have of
services so truly valuable and important to the interest of the Company and the nation.

I am, &c.

THE LATE CAPTAIN A. B. CLAPPERTON— ri»fffl»/er Attendant of the Port of Calcutta.)

Captain Andrew Balfbnr Clapperton commenced his professional life in the year 1808 in the
Honorable Company's regular service, in one of those magnificent merchantmen which surpassed in
size, as some of them almost equalled in discipline,, the dashing frigates of those days. In the
Honorable Company's ship ** Pitt," he served in the expeditions against the Isle of France and Java,
volonteeriug for active duty with the naval forces at both places. He afterwards commanded merchant
ships out of this port, for several years, increasing his professional knowledge, and earning the well
merited confidence of his employers. No man in the country service ever bore a higher character. In
1822 or 23 he commanded the ** Lord Lyndoch" of Calcutta; he circumnavigated the globe, rounding
Cape Horn with a lascar crew, without losing a man of them, a performance and result creditable to
his enterprizing spirit, skill and humanity, and which serves also to show, that in those days, (at least)
native seamen were to be relied on when under able and kind commanders, even in climates so littie
congenial to them as those they must pass through in such voyages.

In January 1826, Capt. Clapperton entered the service of this Government as 2d Assistant Master
Attendant, and he continued to serve in the Bankshall Office up to the date of his death, with the
exception of one year that he had command of the '* Enterprize" steamer. During the period
mentioned, owing to the changes that took place in grades above him, he was sometimes 1st
Assistant and sometimes 2d. When a Master Attendant died or went on leave, he got the step
from 2d to Ist Assistant. When a successor was sent out, or the absent one returned, he fell
back to the junior place. On the demise of Captain Hope in 1837, Captain Clapperton became again
first Assistant Master Attendant by Captain Harrington's promotion, and after this, never descended
below this grade ; for that officer was confirmed as Master Attendant ; on his death. Captain Clapperton
rose to the situation of Master Attendant, which he filled from November 1841 to Sept. 1842, when he
was superseded by Captain Rogers, appointed by the Court, and again he fell back to 1st Assistant.
For a few months in 1844, he acted as Secretary to the Superintendent of Marine during Mr. Green-
law's sickness, and under Lieutenant Colonel Irvine, then became 1st Assistant Master Attendant
again. On the Colonel's resignation in January 1846, Captain Rogers was appointed officiating
Superintendent of Marine and Capt. Clapperton acted as Master Attendant until June 1847, when
both officers received from the Honorable Court letters confirming them in their respective appointments.
The latter did not live long to enjoy this recognition of his merit ; for after a short illness he died at
Barrackpore on Monday evening the 20th of September 1847, in the 54th year of his age, only four
months after the receipt of his appointment from home.

Captain Clapperton had also during this long period of service, at various times filled the office of
Judge Advocate of the Marine Committees of Enquiry, since superseded by the Pilot's Court.

In all the situations specified, Captain Clapperton afforded proofs of his zeal and ability, and equally
gained the confidence of his superiors and of his subordinates, as well as of the mercantile community
with whom his duties brought him in contact, and to whom his pleasing manner and obliging disposi-
tion, strongly commended him.

Such is a brief record of Captain Clapperton's career. On any professional point no man's judg-
ment was entitled to, or, probably, commanded more confidence. As a public officer his skill and zeal

were highly appreciated by the Government, and as a member of tooiety he was generally known i
greatly respected ; and he enjoyed the esteem and attachment of a large circle of friends to whom
worth and amiable qualities were more intimately known, and by whom his loss is deeply lament
To sum up ; the service has lost in him a tried and valuable officer, society an honorable sind amis
member. His remains were interred in the Scotch Burial Ground, and no Monument or Tablet !
been erected to mark the spot. ^

Dr. HENRY HARPER SPRY.

Dr. Sprjr was 2d Assistant Grarrison Surgeon and Secretary to the Agricultural and Horticultural
Society of India, by whose death this latter Institution has been deprived of a most assiduous and
▼aluable functionary, and the Society at large of a truly estimable, useful and benevolent member. His
death was caused by a fall from his buggy *, the serious injury was developed on the brain eight days
subsequent to the melancholy accident. By this sad event the Medical Service has been deprived of a
Member of great zeal and talent, the State of a valuable public servant, and the community of a friend
for whom have been entertained the highest regard and esteem.

Dr. Spry had been elected a fellow of the Geological Society of London ; he was a man of science,
and had travelled a great deal over India, and being a man of general observation, he took notes of all
he saw ; bis health becoming impaired he was compelled to return to England. He employed however
his leisure hours, thus afforded for employing those notes in a work which he published in Loudon, en-
titled, " Modem India." On account of this publication and other literary labours he was elected a
Fellow of the Royal Society. On his return to India, from his great zeal for developing the resources
of India, he was appointed Secretary to the department of Statistics of the Asiatic Society.

Dr. ^>ry carried on a correspondence with most of the scientific men throughout India, and even
extended it to Europe with the most eminent men of science engaged in agricultural pursuits, and the
members in the direction of the East India Company. From this correspondence he compiled the
important work on the resources of India. If any other labour in addition was necessary to prove his
teal, it was in the recent establishment of the Journal of the Society, replete with knowledge of deepest
importanoe to the country. Dr. Spry, besides being Assistant Garrison Surgeon, held the Surgeoncy
of the Lower Orphan School, and was Medical adviser to one of the Assurance Societies, and was able
nevertheless to discharge the onerous duties of the Secretariat to the Agricultural Society.

The following Inscription is inscribed on his monument : —

of the Statistical Society of London, and to the Medical and Physical Society of Calcutta, to the Indian

community he was extensively and favorably known, and his death, resulting

Her heart and hand within the sphere of her
xneans were ever promptly responsive to the calls
of want and suffering, and her memory is
hallowed by the tears of the poor ; beloved in
every relation by a circle to whom she was
endeared by her amiable disposition and modest
worth, her premature departure has left them
sorrowing and made desolate the once happy
home of which she was the light, life, and orna-
ment, and her sorely bereaved husband here
gratefully records that she proved in every deed a
wife from the Lord.

THE EUROPEAN FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM, (40, Middle Cireulur Road.)

THE REV. GEORGE PICK\NCE.~r^/e Chaplain of the European Female Orphan Atyium.J

1'he Rev. Q. Pickance died of that fearful scourge, the cholera, on Tuesday eyening, May the 20tb,
1845, after a few hours ilLness, in the 45th year of his age.

lie was pursuing a most useful career, both as the head-master of the Armenian Philanthropic In-
stitution, and as Editor of the *' Christian Intelligencer ;" — but more especially as Chaplain of the Euro-
pean Female Orphan Asylum. His labours for the benefit of the Orphans have beoi signally blessed
and many have been led through his instrumentality to " embrace the truth as it is in Jesus." Tie
intelligence of the decease of their Pastor, was received by them widi the bitterest lamentation. They
felt thoy had lost a wise counsellor, a faithful pastor and sincere friend. His end, as might have been
expected, was peace. He expressed his great thankfulness that he had not then to b^^ the work of
religion, felt the prcciousness of the Saviour, and expressed the fullest conviction that, through the
atoning sacrifice, he should have an entrance administered to him into the kingdom of heaven. All his
confidence, however, was humble confidence, and such as becometh the redeemed of the Lord.

It was somewhat singular that on the Sunday preceding the day (Tuesday) on which he died, he
preaclted from the same text from which he preached upon first entering on his ministry amongst us.
" Bt/ tha grace nf God^ I am what I am^** a most appropriate passage both to begin and end with.

It is very praiseworthy and gratifying to know that the children of the Orphan Asylum have placed
a tablet to his memory, in their little Chapel at their own expense.

The followivg is a copy of (he Inscription : —

To the Memory of the Rev. O. Pickance, the esteemed and much lamented minister of

this Institution, who fell asleep in Jesus on the 20th May 1815, in the 45th year of his age. He

had been attached to this Asylum for five years, during wliich time he proved hhnseif a faithful Pftstor,

kind adviser, and sincere friend to the Orphans ; who in grateful testimony

of his worth, have erected this tablet.
*• The just shaU live by faith."— Heb. x. 38.

tWidf

The following lines are copied from a Tablet in the Chapelt alto put up by the^mdren : —

The tribute of the- Orphans, to the united remembrance of the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Thoaaasoii]

the founders of the European Female Orphan Asylum.
The Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Schmid, and the Rev. Mr. Sdmond^ who Laboured suooessively to

promote the best and highest interests of the Institution.

Their ** witness is in heaven," their ** record is on high." — Job. xvi. 19.

** A father of the fatherless is God in his Holy habitation." — Ps. IzviiL 5.

9th October, 184G.

THE REV. JAMES EDMOND, (late Chaplain of the European Female Orphan Agylum.J

Mr. Sdxnond was bom of pious parents in March 1759 ; his youth however, was passed in forget -
fulness of the God of his father ; dissatisfied with the quiet habits of home, he left his fiunily and went
to Edinburgh, where at the age of nineteen, he enlisted in the Artillery, and a few years after was
embarked fur this country in the service of the E. I. Company, in which he continued till 1794, when
he returned to Euro))e. On reaching his native land, he found his father was dead, that bis mother
was in bad health and in poverty. Under the pressure of many bereavements, he became more peni-
tent and humble. But it was when at Manchester, that a sermon preached by Mr. Wilks of London
was blessed of God, as the instrument of subduing his soul into genuine conviction. When with many
prayers, he resolved to devote his life to the cause of missions, the Society gladly accepted of his ser-
vices, and appointed him, with Dr. Vanderkemp, to South Africa, where he arrived on March 31, 1799,
and continued till the close of the year. But his gre^t desire was to visit Bengal ; aooordingly, at the
end of the year, he, with the advice of his colleague, embarked for this country. Through t£e interest
of the Rev. David Brown, he was placed in the Free School, and his labours in Fort William, and
amongst the sick in the General Hospital were greatly blessed. He was appointed by the Lady Man-
agers of the Female Orphan Asylum as Chaplain to that Institution, where, with the Divine Uesung, he
laboured with success. Early in November 1833, he was attacked with cholera ; being soon aware that
the hand of death was upon him, he'prayed that the word of God which he had endeavoured to explain
might be made effectual. In this spirit of Christian confidence and hope, he was called to his rest.

THE REV. DEOCAR SCHMID, (Tate Chaplainn of the European Female Orphan Afyiuw.

Rev. D, Schmid was Chaplain of the Orphan Asylum. This exalted man evinced a prevailing and
strong desire to promote the interests of religion and the good of society ; hence he became connected
with most of the Societies formed in Calcutta for benevolent and religious purposes, and rendered
very eflScient aid not to a few. He had latterly become one of the Secretaries of the Calcutta
Apprenticing Society, — ^The Calcutta Bible Association, which owed its formation in a great meaaure to his
instrumentality, and he continued its acting Secretary to the close of life ; while the Orphan Asylum,
under his truly Christian and paternal superintendence, became a blessing to many who resided within
its walls, and through them, a benefit to the country.

For some time previous to his last illness, Mr. Schmid's health appeared to be improTing, because
he was attacked with a disease, unfelt and unseen, which was sapping the springs of life. Abscess was
forming in a vital part, which terminated his earthly cxisttence about one o'clock on the morning of the
3rd December, 1829.

CHRlSrS CHURCH, SIMLAH, AND HINDOO COLLEGE.

Sacred to the Memory of the late Baboo Mohescliniider Qhose,

Catechist of the C. M. Society, and previously student of Bishop's College. Although born and

brought up amid debasing idolatry, and afterwards bewildered with atheism and

unbelief, he earnestly continued to seek for light, and was at length brought to the truth as it

is in Jesus, and manifested its saving power, by a holy and consistent Life.

He died Aug. 30th, 1837, at Penang, where he had gone for the benefit of his health, aged 25 years.

HINDOO COLLEGE SQUARE.

MR. DAVID HARE.

Mr. DaTid Hare, the great friend and encourager of native education, was carried off in twenty-
four hours by an attack of Cholera, which baffled all Medical skill. His remains were interred in the
square of the Hindoo College, and the native community of this Presidency have caused a Monument
and his statue to be erected in token of his great exertions in promoting the cause of education
among them.

The following Inscription is taken from the Monument over his remains : —

This Tomb (erected by his native friends and pupils) encloses the mortal remains of

David Hare. He was a Native of Scotland,

and came to this city in the year 1800, and died 1st June 1842, aged 67 years.

After acquiring a competence by probity and industry i^ his calling as a watchmaker, he adopted

for his own the country of his sojourn, and cheerfiilly devoted the remainder of his life

with unweariag zeal and benevolence — to one pervading and darling object, one for which he spared

not personal trouble, money or influence, viz. the education and moral improvement of

the Natives of Bengal, thousands of whom regarded him in life with filial love and reverence, and

lament him in death as their best and most disinterested friend, who was to them even as a Father.

Status of David Hare.
The following is the Inscription on the statue of the late David Hare^ in the quadrangle of the
Hindoo College^ and over which an elegant dome has lately been erected : —

In honor of David Hare,

who by steady industry, having acquired an ample competence, cheerfully relinquished the
prospect of returning to enjoy it in his native land in order to promote the welfare of that of his

adoption. To the close of his irreproachable and useful life, he made the improvement,'

intellectual and moral, as well as the condition, in sickness no less than in health, of the Native

youth of Bengal, the object of his constant care and unwearying solicitude, and they, in

token of gratitude and veneration for the memory of their constant, generous and

most disinterested benefactor, have erected this statue.

HINDOO COLLEGE, (establUhed in 1816.)

The following Inscription is on a Tablet in the Hindoo College, to the memory qf the late
J, E. Lyallj Esq. : —

in grateful remembrance of the late John Sdwards Xiyall, Esq, Advocate General,

the zealous friend of the native and the first gratuitous lecturer on jurisprudence in this Hall.

This Tablet is erected by the Law Students of the Hindoo College, 1845.

This Tablet is erected to the Memory of Gopanl Kistno Qhose,
late a Student of this College, whose early attainments reflected credit upon himself, upon the Insti-
tution and upon his countrymen who, having on two successive occasions eminently
distinguished him self in the annual examination of the College, was on the last deprived by an
untimely death of the rewards that he had merited, but for which this Tablet has been substituted
by the Committee of Public Instruction as a mark of regret for his loss, and of the desire

to perpetuate the memory of his eoLample, 1841.

In one of the Branch Schools of the Hindoo College is the following to the memory of the late
Mr. David Hare: —

This tablet, erected by the teachers and students of this school,

is sHcrcd to the Memory of David Hare,

who subduing the natural desire to return to the land of his birth, devoted his fortune, his energies

and his life to the best interests of India, his adopted country, where he will ever be

affectionately remembered as the father of native education.

Born in England 1775, died in Calcutta, June 1st, 1842.

Ah warm philantropist ! Ah faithful friend !
Thy life devoted to one generous end,
To bless the Hindoo mind with British lore.
And truth's and nature's faded lights restore.
If for a day that lofty aim was crost,

You grieved like Titus that a day was lost,
Alas ! it is not now a few — brief hours,
That fate withholds, a heavier grief overpowers,
A nation whom you loved as if your own,
A life that gave the life of life is gone !

Anno Domini, 1847.

neighbouring kingdoms, from the banks of the Helmunt and Oxus, to the Straits of Malaoca,

where, in the capacity of Civil Assistant Surgeon, he died 9th February 1845, in the

34th year of his age, and the 13th year of his public service in India. His early loss is deeply

deplored by the head of the Government of India, and by the leading natural historians

of his time. He bequeathed large collections of plants and manuscripts to the

METCALFE HALL.

CHARLES LORD METCALFE.

The decease of this excellent man took place on Saturday the 5th September, 1846. Ever aince his
return from Canada, he had been suffering under severe indisposition, and for some months prior to
his dissolution, his medical advisers ceased to indulge any hope of his recovery, and life had so long
been to him an unintermittent agony, that his best friends had also ceased to wish for a fiuiher pro-
longation of suffering which human skill could not allay, and could scarcely alleviate. He leemed
conscious that the tortures he endured must ere long be terminated by deadi ; and even spoke of him-
self as one whose days were numbered, as one who looked for no mitigation of suffering on tiiis aide of
the grave, and they who were witnesses of his sufferings, were witnesses also of his eztraordinarj pati-
ence and resignation, and loved to speak of the sweetness of his disposition, which never deaertod him
to the last.

Lord Metcalfe, of whom it may with truth be said, was one of the greatest men of his time ; and the
Civil Service of Bengal may justly be proud of him. For the man who ruled at one time in Hindi>irtin.
at another in the West Indies, and again in North America, had doubtless a more extended sphere of
action, than any of his contemporaries. In the East, the best days of Sir Charles Metcalfe were spent,
and with the circumstances of his eastern career his most cherished recollections wera aasoeiatod. It
was one of the solaces of his best days to revert, in the Society of some old friends and ccMnpanlons, to
the events of his Indian career ; and we believe that no human considerations ever cansed him more
true gratification at the threshold of the grave, than the tribute which was rendered to him on his
return from Canada, at a large gathering of his old friends and admirers, many of them enjoying the
highest Indian reputations of the age, — a tribute which a gentleman then present, characterised as a
" wreath upon his bier."

So little is to be said respecting Lord Metcalfe's ancestors, that their history may in a few words be
related. Soon after the revolution of 1688, an English gentleman, named Theophilus Metcalfe, settled
in Ireland, and being a Barrister, practised his profession in that country with some snooess. His son
Tiiomas, entered the Army, and having married the daughter of the Rev. J. Williams, had a son also
called Thomas. This gentleman served many years in India in a Military capacity, became a Director
of the East India Company, and was created a Baronet in the year 1802. He had married in 1782,
Susannah Sophia, relict of Major Smith, and daughter of Mr. John Debonnaire ; the second son of
that marriage was the subject of the present memoir. Sir T. Metcalfe died in the year 1813, and was
succeeded by his eldest son Theophilus John ; and he dying in 1822, without male issne, was in his
turn succeeded by his brother, Charles TheopMlus.

This eminent person was bom on the 3d of January 1 785, and therefore at the time of his lamented
death was in the 62d year of his age. On the 13th of October 1800, he received his appointment as a

METCALFE HALL. 263

writer in the Service of the E. I. Company, and quitted Europe at the early age of fifteen. He had
received as much of education as could be imparted to a boy of his years, and came to India with quite
as large a stock of knowledge as in those days usually fell to the lot of youths destined for similar
employments ; it was, however, evident even in his boyhood, that the strong common sense and natural
talents which he possessed would, to a large extent, compensate for any of those deficiencies, in mere
literary attainments, under which he might labour. Not that his education had been by any means neg-
lected ; on the contrary, he was considering that he entered upon active life at so early an age, a man
of sound and varied knowledge ; but the extraordinary vigour of his intellect resulted less from the
training of instructors, than from the gift of nature ; less from the toils of the library, than from a
perusal of that book of life, which large intercourse with the world opens to the view of the assiduous
student. So early was his advancement, that at the age of sixteen, he received the appointment of
Assistant to the Resident with Dowlut Rao Scindeah. On the 4th of October 1802, he became Assis-
tant in the Chief Secretary's Office ; in less than seven months from that time, we find him Assistant
in the Governor General's Office ; and early in the year 1806, he was transferred to the office of the
Commander-in-Chief. On the 15th of August in the same year, he became first Assistant to the British
Resident at Delhi ; and on the 29th of August 1808, he proceeded to Lahore. Here we find him, not
older than the majority of under-graduates at Oxford or Cambridge, measuring the mortal strength of
his character, the resources of his limited experience, and the force of his yet untried penetration,
against the multiplied stratagems and deep deceits of an Indian Ruler, Runjeet Sing and his advisers.

On the 15th of July 1809, he received the appointment of Deputy Secretary to the Governor ; in
the month of May 1810, he became acting Resident at the Court of Dowlut Rao Scindeah ; and in
February 1811, Resident at Delhi. It was on the 29th of Jan. 1819, that he received the appointment
of Secretary in the Secret and Political Department, and also that of Private Secretary to the Governor
General. Mr. Metcalfe succeeded Mr. Russell as British Resident at Hydrabad on the 26th of Dec.
18i0. His health after a short absence from Hyderabad, having been considerably restored, he accepted
on the 26th August 1825, the appointment of Agent to the Governor General for the affairs of Raj-
pootannah. In August 1827, he became a Member of the Supreme Council, and subsequently was
entrusted with the Presidency of Agra. On the 3d of February 1835, Lord William Bentinck gave
in his resignation, and Sir Charles Metcalfe was provisionally appointed Grovemor General, which
office he held till the 28th March 1836, being the interval between the departure of Lord William
Bentinck and the arrival of Lord Auckland ; during that short period Sir Charles originated, as well
as adopted, several important measures, viz. The issue of a uniform money for all the Presidencies.
The abolition of Chowkies in Bengal, and a still more important step, the liberation of the Press
from all restrictions. This last measure, the anniversary of which (the 15th of September,) is still
celebrated by a " Press Dinner," was a theme of universal eulogy in India, and rendered him pre-emi-
nently popular amongst natives as well as Europeans. It however, gave great umbrage to the Court
of Directors, and was the eventual cause of his resignation and return to Europe, though he had always
declared his intention of spending his life in India. The post of Governor of Madras about this time
became vacant, and the friends of Sir Charles concluded that it would be given to him ; but the Court
of Directors thought proper to mark their opinion of his conduct by bestowing it upon another. In
the month of September 1837, he signified his intention of withdrawing from the public service. The
distinction of a Civil Knight Grand Cross of the Bath had been conferred upon him in the course of the
preceding year, and his retirement from Agra was marked by every token of the public sympathy and
affection, including dinners, balls, and addresses, and the presentation of a magnificent piece of plate ;
never was man more heartily beloved and esteemed by the inhabitants of British India, than the subject
of this memoir. By public subscription a Statue was erected to his honor, and an address presented
by the community of Agra, which styled him the ** brightest ornament of the Civil Service," which
celebrated his magnificent benefactions and his private generosity. In reply to this address. Sir Charles,
with his characteristic candour, avowed the cause of his resignation. He reminded his friends that
reports had prevailed in the preceding year, to the effect that he was in dbgrace with the home authori-
ties on account of the liberty of the Press ; and he added, *' that, that was a position in which he could
not remain with comfort ;" he, therefore, sought information on the subject at the fountain-head ; the
reply which he received was by no means explicit, but its uncordial tone satisfied him, that the reports
which prevailed were not untrue ; and therefore on the 2ist of February 1838, he withdrew from the
Service of the East India Company.

Soon after his arrival in England a public dinner was given to Sir Charles, at that time appointed to
the Government of Jamaica, which was at the time in a state of the utmost confusion. The new
Governor had not been about a year on the Island, when the aspect of affairs underwent so favourable
a change as to excite great surprise and gratulation, both at Kingston and in Downing street. After two
years residence in Jamaica, the health of Sir Charles rendered his resignation a matter of necessity ;
and he returned to England amidst the regrets of a community, grateful for his paternal Government,
and attached to him by ties of almost personal friendship for his hospitality, his conversational powers
and his great kindness of heart, were surpassed only by his practical and administrative talents. In the
year 1844, a Statue was erected to his honor at Spanish Town.

Sir Charles Metcalfe returned from the West Indies in 1842 ; medical aid and a few months of
repose so far re-established his health, as to render him again able to serve his country. But the Con^
servatives were in power and Sir Charles was a Whig ; Sir Robert Peel, however felt so deeply inter-
ested in sending out to Canada the best possible Governor that he disregarded party considerations and
appointed the subject of this memoir. Sir Charles embarked for North America, to assume the deli-
cate and difficult task of ruling a colony which for some time previous to that period had been con-
sidered almost intractable. Without detracting from the merits of his predecessors, it may be said,
that the crisis of the struggle remained for Sir Charles Metcalfe, and that he very adroitly threw the
popular colours into his own ranks, while he cast upon his adversaries the odium of opposing their owa

doctrines. Withoafc impairing the principle of ministerial responsibility, he maintained the prerogative
and authority of the Crown ; he repressed violence without infringing liberty ; and though not depart-
ing from the high constitutional doctrines of the old Whigs, which he always professed, Lord Metcalfe
carried out into practice the best proportion of those monarchial principles, which an opposite party
make it their chief pride to cherish.

In the year 1845, he was raised to the Peerage by the title of Baron Metcalfe, but by that time, the
malady which eventually caused his death, had become so distressing that he was obliged to return to
England and witliclraw into private life. In his retirement he received not only the reward of honours
and dignities, but he possessed the consciousness of success. Fresh addresses from Calcutta and fresh
testimonials to his high deserts, followed him even to the chamber of sickness and sorrow. Many dis-
tinctions had been conferred on him during the meridian of his days. It was, however, towards the
close of life that honours poured in thickly ; when this world was rec^ng from his view ; when fame
seemed an empty sound ; when political victories yielded no triumph; when the coronet, which he
had no heir to inherit, seemed a paltry bauble. Then was all else that this earth affords spread before
him, courting his acceptance ; but he was in agony, and could not enjoy them ; he was childlesB, and
could not transmit them ; he was dying, and did not want them.

Thus Lord Metcalfe entered public life one of a crowd of Civil Servants of the East India Company.
In India he attained to the dignity of Governor Greneral. He had not long been in England at the
close of his Indian career, when he was selected by a Whig Ministry to fill the office, at a critical time,
of Governor of Jamaica ; and almost immediately on his relinquishment of this appointment, he was
nominated by a Tory Ministry, Governor General of the Canadas. The man, thus trusted by two adverse
Governments, thus selected for high office by opposite statesmen, to whom personally he was unknown,
must have been a man of no common order. He was emphatically the most trust*wor^y — ^tlie most
conscientious of men. He was never passionate — never impetuous ; but always serene, and firm in his
serenity. There was a might in his mildness — a grandeur in his equanimity — to which the most brilliant
talents, and the most fiery energies, could never have attained. Regardless of applause from those below
him, or of approbation from those above him, he laid down for himself a line of duty, and to this line
he stead^Bistly adhered. He was any thing but a popularity-seeker, and yet he was the most popular
of men. Naturally a liberal — ^naturally on the side of the people — ^his measures were directed towards
the amelioration of the great masses of mankind ; and such was the confidence of all men in his good
faith, in the singleness and disinterestedness of his personal character, that when opposition erected
itself against him, he levelled it down, rather than beat it down ; he triumphed and made no enemies.

In private life, he was kind, hospitable, humane, courteous, upon principle, as well as from the dic-
tates of a benevolent heart. With a large measure of bon-hommiCf be combined an unusual amount of
unostentatious charity. He was as a man, ever foremost in well-doing. His purse was never closed
against the wants of his poorer brethren, whilst men who needed not his charity, were ever welcome to
his hospitable board. He was a man of genial, cordial temperament ; one of those men " who are the
salt of the earth,'' overflowing with kindness and sympathy ; and many have been the tears shed
for him.

On the afternoon of the 15th of September, the mortal remams of this great and good man, were
consigned to their last resting-place in the vault of his ancestors, at Winkfield, in Berkshire. The
mourners and attendants assembled at Hill-house, the residence of his nephew, Sir Hesketh Fleetwood.
The obsequies were conducted in a manner quite becoming his high rank, and the great personal
esteem in which he had ever been held, but at the same time with no unusual or ostentaUons display.
The Coronet of the deceased was borne upon a crimson velvet cushion, the coffin was covered with
crimson velvet ; the Hearse was adorned with paintings of the Arms, Coron^ &c. belonging to the
deceased, and there were several mourning coaches and four, and private carriages of several noblemen
and gentlemen followed the mourning coaches. The Church was hung with black doth, and every
part of the ceremony was performed with impressing effect.

And yet without a grudge) ; or where, again,
In the far East reclines the soft Hindoo
By Ganges' bank — now, rapt, in pensive prayer

By such thou'rt not forgotten. India loves
The cherish'd recollection of thy deeds.
And long may she preserve, intact, thy gift —

'Gainst them, without a voice of thunder nosed
In their behalf, the helpless snd the poor—
Those stem decrees of independent men.

THE LATE JOHN PALMER, ESQ.

Few men who have died among us have established a stronger daim to m meinorisdi tribiite tiian Joki
Palmer, a name which is known and respected in the remotest parts of Britisli India ; and we believe,
we may add without fear of refutation, in every portion of the British dominions.

Mr. John Palmer was the younger of several sons of the late Lieut. -Genl. Rdmer, so wdl known in
his day, as the confidential Private Secretary, in fact the confidential Minister of WanreD H— tiiy, who
died at Berhampore on the 20th of May 1814, after having filled the highest offioee in tlie diplomatic
Kne in India, for more than 20 years, and finished his professional career as an Offioer on the Staff of
the Bengal Army. Grenl. Palmer was acknowledged to be second to no one in the Coaqpaiiy's Service
for talent, experience and that honorable independence of mind for which hia SOQ was distia^paished.
The General entered the Bengal Army from the King's Service in 1770, rather later in lifb than is the
usage of the present day, and his children were bom in the West Indies. Two fo«nd emj^yment in
the Bengal Army and died Field Officers.

John Palmer was brought up for the Navy, which he entered, aa is customary, at a very early age,
and in which he served several years, until he obtained his Commission, having, dttriag that tiaae, been
in a vessel which engaged the celebrated ** Suffren.'' A curious incident in Mr. Ptimer'a life ia well
worthy of narration in this place, as exhibiting those strong ties of sympathy by which men of similar
dispositions are attracted, even against a disparity of years and circumstances. During the course of
earlier service in the Navy, it wae the fortune of Mr. Palmer to be carried a priaoner into Prance,
where like others of his class, he was a helpless boy dependent on the mercies of chance for the
alleviation of his lot. Il happened that La Fitte, so celebrated as a Financier, was then commencing,
or rather had but just established himself in that career through the successful pursuit of which he was
subsequently destined to come so prominently forward on the arena of European politics. This highly
talented man, residing at the town where the young Midshipman was located in activity, fidling
accidentally into conversation with him, was charmed by the frankness and intelligence of the prisoner
to a degree that induced him to procure his removal to his own residence, and eventually t» carry him
to Paris, when the banker determined on pushing his fortunes in the capital. Young Plslmer was
permitted, on the responsibility of his benevolent friend, to remain at large upon parole, till his
exchange or release, which was effected by the same generoua hand that had brought succour to hia afflic-
tion ; being, intermediately housed, fed and clothed, by the liberality of his protector. Years flew on,
and the names of La Fitte and Palmer (each in their several vocations) resounded throqgh the ranks of
society. La Fitte had occasion to interest himself on behalf of a young countryman whose adventures
brought him to the East, and then it was tliat be addressed hia quondam guest — ^who had by the period
adverted to, attained the climax of his great name and popularity — and recalled to mind the services
he had been happy enough to show, which he requested might be returned by extending to his com-
patriot the favor he had himself experienced while in adverse circumstances. The daim was not for-
gotten, and while Mr. Palmer lived, the condition of M. Falcon was one of unintermpted advancement
in all that could hold forth the prospect of a brilliant and speedy independence.

To return to our narration from this digression of an anecdote, which in the order of events. Is thos
prematurely introduced, we have to state that the remaining portion of Mr. Palmer*8 employment in
the Navy, which he rejoined on his release, was limited to his voyage to this country in one of the
vessels of war, to reinforce the squadron of Sir G. Hughes, to his presence in action with *< de Suffran"
on several occasions ; and hb holding the appointment of Flag Midshipman oo board tlie ** Snperb."

When hostilities ceased on promulgation of the peace of Paris in 17B3, Mr. Pihner obtained leave
of absence and repaired to Calcutta with the view of visiting hb father, then Major Fahner, and, as
already said. Private Secretary to Mr. Hastings, and it was on this visit that be became acqnainted with
Mr. Barber, (a partner in the house of Burgh, Barber & Co.) whose kindness was destined to exereise so
entirely an influence over his future existence as to superinduce the resolution to quit the Navy for pur-
suits of a wholly different nature.

Mr Palmer's first step was entering as clerk in the office of the above named firm, and it was du-
ring the period of his clerical servitude, that he discharged by dint of the greatest astidaity and self-

TOWN HALL. 267

denial, the debts of his father, who was then absent on diplomatic emplofiuent at the Court of Luck-
now. On the death of Mr. Barber, Mr. Palmer became by will possessed of the house in Loll Bazar,
which he enlarged to a degree of magnificence, and afterwards sold to Government for the purpose to
which it is at present dedicated, namely, the Police office. Mr. Barber also bequeathed a certain
share in the Arm, and here Mr. Palmer continued to act till its interests merged into other and more,
extensive associatioD, prior to joining which be entered into a partnership with Mr. Henry St. Greorge
Tucker, (the late Chairman of the Court of Directors,) in the retail line, and at length renewed his
copartnership with the old house which had at this time taken deeper root as the well-known firm of
<>ockerell, Traill & Co., with whom he continued the prosecution of his business till ths retirement of
Mr. Pazton and the above named gentleman, left him the uncontrolled management of it, and which
under his able direction became one of the leading mercantile houses of the world, and acquired for its
head the proud title of " Prince of Bntish Merchants," as proudly assigned to him by universal snf*
frage in the very seats of imperial legislation. It were trite to relate how disastrously the house failed
in 1830, and in its fall, drew down with it, within a few years, all the long established Agencies of this
place which could not withstand the universal shock to credit and confidence, that the demolition of
such a concern, and the influence of such a name at the head of it, had for so long a series of years pro-
duced and established.

The great success which for so many years attended the house of Palmer & Co. and the almost un-
paralleled credit which it commanded, have been justly ascribed more to liberality and kindness of
heart in the head of that firm, than even to the extraordinary intelligence and enterprizing spirit which
swayed it ; unfortunately for himself, and for those who became afterwards associated with him ; an
excess of that generosity which had won for him the gratitude of so many, led in later times, and al-
tered circanutances, to the unhappy result we have mentioned, and which proved the source of so
much concurrent distress. Mr. Palmer's inability to refuse applications for pecuniary aid and his
reluctance to question the integrity of others, from sheer abjence of all suspicion in his own nature,
were mainly instrumental in producing the failure ; an event, which Mr. Brownrigg's attempts to
retard by the adoption of an opposite course, so far from staying, we have undoubted reason to believe,
accelerated tenfold.

There probably never was a more unhappy period in Mr. Palmer's life, than that in which, while
efforts were making by his partners to retrieve the affairs of the firm, his liberality was entirely restrain-
ed, and he was reduced in his own oSlce, as he expressed it, to a mere cypher. When the failure took
place, such was the confidence of the natives in Mr. Palmar, such their respect for him, that many came
forward with offers of liberal assistance ; but the case was too desperate to admit of any relief of that
kind. The creditors in general, to mark their sense of Mr. Palmer's merte* placed his name at the
head of the ii^t of Assignees. The Chief Justice, when the list was presentea to him, regretted that a
legal objectioa existed to such a nomination ; but he seized the occasion to pay a feeling tribute to the
character uf Mr. Palmer and to express a deep sympathy in his misfortunes.

About three years before his death, Mr. Palmer was enabled to re-establish himself in a business,
which we bslieve was in a most flourishing condition : and out of the profits of this concern, he actu-
ally supported and assisted many distressed creditors of the late firm ; a fact more to his honor, than
any recorded in history which, if impartially and fully written, would breathe but of actions and senti-
ments, exalting and enobling the best qualities of the human heart.

Justice has not been done, as a citizsn and member of our community, in any of the notices of his
death, to Mr. Palmer's claims on our respect and grateful recollection. His name was to be found at
the head of every Association, for resisting wrong and supporting right, and it is in no small degree
to tue influence of his venerated name and to his strenuous zeal and public spirit, always judiciously
tempere4 by suavity and discretion, the fruits of a sound judgment and experience, that this community
is indebted for keeping alive that feeble spark of resistance to arbitrary authority among Englishmen in
India, which has withstood so many attempts to extinguish it for so many years, and which at length
burns as a bright and steady flame in liberty of speech, of press, of persons, and of property.

Mr. Palmer was one of the first to take Mr. Buckingham by the hand, and to his influence and
generous aid we owe the impulse to the improvement of the Indian Press which was so markedly given
by the establishment of the Calcutta Journal. During our brief reign of terror, when Mr. Buckingham
was proscribed by power, and many thought it dangerous to associate with him, Mr. Palmer atiU adhered
to him, and became in association with Mr. George Ballard, one of the trustees for the management of
his property when he was banished to England, and with a fidelity consonant to the strict consistency
of his uniform integrity of character to the last.

Mr. Palmer was in short, an independent citizen, a generous and steady friend ; he lived esteemed
and beloved beyond the ordinary lot of ordinary men ; and his death was deeply lamented by all who
had opportunity of estimating his virtues. He lived to a good old age ; but his strong constitution and
the health he generally enjoyed gave every promise of yet longer life. The immediate cause of his
death was a quinsy. He expired about 2 o'clock on the morning of Thursday the 22nd January 1836,
in the 69th year of his age, and his rcmiins were carried to the grave next morning followed by a more
numerous concourse of friends and others who respected his memory, than perhaps ever attended
any funeral in Calcutta.

Necessarily brief as a notice of this description mu^t be, we are constrained to make only cursorily
allusion to those acts of private beneficence which have so strongly engraven the name of John Palmer
in the hearts of multitudes. The Christian and the Heathen even yet delight to honor his memory,
and not without reason, for if ever hand was open as *' day to melting charity," that hand was his.
Nor would our record be complete without an intimation that he mingled largely, in the politics of the
day, both in Europe and India. In the former for but a short space indeed, but filled with important
events from the nature of the transactioas involved. We have it from an authority not to be doubted,

that, while in England, the illtutrious Pitt, either peraonallyor through the medium of a common friend,
(Sir Home Popham) consulted deeply with Mr. Palmer on several measure! of the highest aignificance
relative to both the Home and Colonial Governments.

Mr. Palmer intended retirement at an early period of life, leaving Mr. Tucker in temporary charge
of his affairs in this coiuitry, when he re-visited England in 1801-2. Losses however ofno faioonsiderable
magnitude occurring during his absence from Calcutta, he was obliged to re-visit India, and returned
to it with the Expedition to the Cape under the orders of liis friend, General Sir D. Baird. He was pre-
sent at the capture of that settlement, and the official letter — remarkable for its cleamcM and elegance,
was from the hand of the distinguished subject of our memoir.

In nothing, however, was Mr. Palmer so great, as in the hour of his adversity and his bearing under
its calamitous stroke. As his genius guided the bark on the current of prosperity with an almost
unerring aim, till he made a voluntary cession of his own immediate superintendence and exclusiTe
control, so did his nerve and energy, aided by the promptings of his lofty mind which scorned alike du-
plicity and meanness, enable him to endure without shrinking the struggles he inflicted on himself in the
honorable desire to redeem, in his senility, the errors and disasters to which his fkcility of dispositioa
had given rise. At the age of between 60 and 70, he manfully set about to repair the misery that his
failure had entailed upon the widow and the orphan, and that too with a devotion which would assuredly
have succeeded, had not his death arrested the generous purpose. He verified the well-known maxim that
a great and good man is seen to most advantage (so far as the devolopment of human energy is concerned)
in the hour of trial, and what nobler Monument can be erected to his memory than the relation of the
simple fact, that striken by time, and soured in feeling, he dedicated the remaining years of his existence
to an honest endeavour of restoring to the helpless what the force of circumstances, as much aa his own
yieldingncss of heart, had produced in deterioration of their interests ?

The short tablet over his grave in the North Park Street Burial Ground, tells his history :—

LA MARTINIERE.

MAJOR GENERAL CLAUDE MARTIN— Founder of the La Martiniere SchooL

Major General Claude Martin, a brave, ambitious, fortunate, and munificent Frenchman who has
immortaliied his name in India by his public charities, was the son of a silk -manufacturer at Lyons in
France, in which city he was bom, and in which city some of his father's family still reside.

At an early age the subject of our memoir expressed a dislike to follow his father's inactive profes-
uon, and determined to choose one more congenial to his disposition. He accordingly enlisted himself
in the French army, and soon distinguished himself so much, that he was removed from the Infantry to
the Cavalry, and afterwards appointed a trooper in Count Lally's body-guard, a small corps of select
men, that was formed for the purpose of accompanying that officer to Pondicherry, of which place he
had then been appointed Governor. Soon after Lally's arrival at Pondicherry, he began to exercise his
power vrith such oppressive severity, and to enforce the discipline of the army with such a rigid
minuteness, that his conduct excited the disgust and detestation of the whole settlement. Several
memorials were drawn up against him, and transmitted to France ; and many officers of distinction
resigned their appointments. He nevertheless persevered in his injudicious system of discipline with
an unremitting strictness, unmindful of the representations of some officers who were in his confidence,
and totally blind to the dangers he was thus foolishly drawing on himself till it was too late to avert
them. Though he must have been sensible that he had lost tibe affections of the army, yet he seemed
not aware of the consequences to which that loss might lead. The troops were so dissatisfied, that
when the English army laid siege to Pondicherry, great numbers deserted from the garrison ; and at
last his own body-guard went over in a body to the enemy, carrying their horses, arms, &c. along with
them. This corps was well received by the English commanders, by whom Martin was soon noticed
for the spirit and ability which he displayed on many occasions. On the return of the British army to
Madras, after the surrender of Pondicherry, Martin obtained permission of the Madras Government to
raise a company of Chasseurs from among the French prisoners, of whom he got the command, with
the rank of Ensign in the Company's Service.

A few weeks after he received this appointment, he was ordered to proceed with his Chasseurs to
Bengal.

On their passage, the ship in which they were embarked sprung a leak, and Martin, by great fortitude
and perseverance, but vrith much difficulty, saved himself and bome of his men, in one of the ship's
boats. The ship foimdered off Point Guadawar, the promontory which separates the coast of Coromandel
from that of Orissa ; and thence Martin and his men proceeded in the ship's boat to Calcutta, which
place they reached, after surmounting many dangers and great hardships.

He was received with much kindness by the Bengal government and appointed a Comet of cavalry, in
which office he continued imtil he rose by regular succession to the rank of captain in the line, when he
obtained the command of a company of infantry.

Shortly after this promotion, he was employed by Government to survey the north-east districts of
Bengal ; being an able draftsman, and in every respect well qualified for that purpose. When he had
completed his tour through the north-east district, he was sent to Oude, in order to assist in surveying
that province. While employed in this service, he resided chiefly at Lucknow, where he amused
himself in showing his ingenuity in several branches of mechanics and his skill in gunnery, which gave
the Nabob Vizier Sujah-ud-Dowlah, so high a notion of the value of his services, that he solicited and
obtained permission from the Governor and Council of Calcutta, to appoint him Superintendant of his
artillery park, and arsenal. Martin was so well satisfied with this appointment, and with his prospects
in the service of the Nabob Vizier, that he offered to the Grovemor and Council, to relinquish his pay
and allowances in the Company's Service, on the condition of his being permitted to retain his rank,
and to continue in the service of the Nabob Vizier. This proposal was accepted ; and from this time
his subsequent prosperity commenced.

He was now admitted into the confidence of the Vixier, and in the different changes which took place
in the councils of his Highness, as well as in the various negociations with the English Government,
Martin was his secret adviser. He seldom, however, appeared at the Durbar ; and he never held any
prominent office in the administration of the Vizier's Government ; but there is reason to believe, that
lew measures of importance were adopted without his advice being previously taken. Hence his
influence at the Court of Lucknow became very considerable, not only with the Vizier, but with his
ministers, and that influence was in a great measure the source of the immense fortune which he amassed.
Besides a large salary, with extensive perquisites attached to it, he used to receive from the Nabob
frequent presents of considerable value; and when any of the Nabob's ministers, or other men of
consequence about the Court, had any particular measure to carry with their master ; or personal favour
to ask of him, it was their custom to go privately to Martin, and obtain his interest in their cause,
w^hich, if he was at times induced to refuse, he took care to procure for them ultimately their object
and obtained adequate compensation for his trouble.

During the reign of Asoph-ud-Dowlah, father of the Vizier, Martin made a considerable fortune
by encouraging and cultivating that Prince's taste for the productions of Europe, veith which he
undertook to supply him. Another mode by which he realized money was, by establishing an extensive

270 LA MARTINIERE.

credit with the shroffs, or bankers, in Oude, and the adjacent provincea, io thai no public loan could
be made without his having a share in it. The extraordinarj degree of farour and credit, which he
Uius aquired in the Vizier's dominions, induced all descriptions of people to repose in him inch an
unlimited implicit confidence, that in times of public commotion, they flocked to him from all quarters,
to deposit their moveable property, which, on the condition of their paying him twelve per cent, on its
full value, he engaged to secure and return them on demand. This alone must have been a aouroe of
immense profit, in a country where, for upwards of twenty years of his residence in it, personal property
was so often exposed to danger.

The vast riches which he accumulated by these various and singular modes he does not appear to
have laid out with a very generous spirit ; he is said, indeed, to have been hospitable to the English
gentlemen who resided at Lucknow, but his table was little calculated to invite their aeqnaintanoe with
liim, either by the elegance of the entertainment or the conviviality of the host. Very few instances
have come to light of his private boimty and benevolence. He is said to have assisted his fiunily at
Lyons, by occasionally remitting small sums of money ; and by his will he has left them j^5,000.
But the principal object of his ambition, and wish of his heart, seems to have been to amass immense
treasures, in order to gratify himself by the possession of them while he lived, and by bequeathing
almost the whole of them, on his death, for the support of pious Institutions and public charities, so u
to leave behind him the reputation of a philanthropist. Meanwhile, every sensible reader will decide
as to his title to that name, not from the princely bequests of his will, but from the motive which
suggested them.

After having lived twenty.five years at Lucknow, he had attained, by regular snooesiiooy the rank of
Licutenant-Colonel in the Company's Service.

At the commencement of the war with Tippoo Sultan, in 1790, he presented the Compsny, at his
private expense, with a number of fine horses, sufficient to mount a troop of cavalry. He was soon
afterwards promoted to the rank of Colonel in the Company's army, which object the present of horses
was obviously aiming at.

In 1 796, when the Company's Officers received brevet rank from His Majesty, Martin was incJniied
in the promotion of Colonels to the rank of Major>General.

Some years before this, he had finished a spacious dwelling-house on the banks of the river^GkMmtee,
in the building of which he had long been employed. It is situatad close to one of the royal palaces
called Dilkouska or ** the heart's delight." Tnis eorioas edifice is. constructed entirely of stone, except
the doors and widow-frames.

Beside his house at Lucknow, he had a beautiful villa about fifty miles distant, si tn ated on a high
bank of the Ganges, and surrounded by a domain of almost eight miles in circumferenoe tomeirhat
resembling an English park. Here he used occasionally to retire in the hot season.

Martin's character and habits were of the most eccentric kind.

In the latter part of his life he laid out a large sum of money in constructing a castle, in whidi the
Italian, Grecian, Hindu and Mahomcxlan styla of architecture are mingled in strange oonfiuion. Be-
neath the ramparts of this castle he built casements, secured by iron doors and gratings, thlddy wrooght,
the lodgments within the walls are arched and barred and their roofs completely bomb-proof. The
castle is surrounded by a wide and deep ditch, fortified on the outer side by stodcades and n regular
covered way, so that the place is sufficiently protected, to resist the attacks of any AsiatSc power ;
a motto fronts the whole. ** Labors et Constantia," thence the name CoNSTAimAy by which that
house is popularly known, here that old General lived and here in the year 1800, he died. He had
previously attempted to sell this house to the king of Oude, but difficulty arose about the price, and
understanding that in the event of his death, the king would claim the property, he resolved to prevent
this by making it his Tomb ; he ordered a deep vault to be constructed beneatii the house and directed
his body to be buried there ; no Mussulman will inhabit or disturb a Tomb, and his purpose was affected.
A very good bust by our English ' Banks' faces the spectator as he enters ; fbnr casts of Ghnnadiers the
size of life, with guns reversed and heads depressed, stand round in niches snd apparently keep guard.
In his will he directs that this house be never sold, but to serve as a College for educating ebildreo in
the English religion smd language, and for the immediate accommodation of strangen ooming to
Lucknow. A small establishment is by his directions still retained here, who are however not to reaoaia
in the house above two months, but to evacuate it for the reception and lodgment of snooeediag comers.
The building on the whole appears to have been constructed rather for defence than oom fa rt.

Though he lived so long among the English, he acquired but an imperfoot knoirledge of the
language ; notvrithstanding £lb he chose to write his will in English, which is altogetfasr a fory tjngn'f
pn^uction ; it is dated January the first, 1800, and oonaists of thurty-four articles.

It is too long for insertion, but the following are its principal bequests.* His whole fbrtuie amoun*
ted to thirty-three lacks of Rupees, or jf 330,000, sterling. To his relations at Lyons he bequeathed
j^25,000, as we have already noticed, and he left the same sum to the Munidpslity of that city fbr the
purpose of appropriating it for the benefit of the poor within their jurisdiction in whatever manner they

* The suit in the Supreme Court of Calcutta, respecting the property and bequests of General Martin,
was brought to a close, bv a decision in that Court, on the 10th May 1836, (being eommenoed on the
20th June, 1816) : the Chief justice described it as '* one of the most difficult and complicated auiti ever
presented to any Court."

t The building of this Institution in the Circular Road, was commenced upon in June 1833, and the
entire edifice was completed in 1835 and opened in January 1836 ; it cost about 2 lacks and 30,000 Rupees,
and is two storied, with a large dome, which is employed as a Library.

Ou the aniversary of the founder's death the Governors are directed to procure a clergyman in Holy
orders to preach an appropriate sermon to the boys and girls of the school, which is to be followed by a
dinner to the whole of the children, and a toast to be drank in memory of the Founder, in accordaoee with
the terms of hi=^ will.

diould think fit. For the same purpose be bequeathed fifty thousand Rupees, or j^5000, to the city of Cal-
cutta, and the like sum to Lucknow ; to the Church at Chandemagore in Bengal he bequeathed a Lac and
fifty thousand Rupees, or j^l 5,000, as a fund, the interest of which is to be appropriated to the support
of the establishment. He also left j^l 5,000 to endow an alms house for ^e poor children at Lucknow-
For an Institution in Calcutta to bear the title of La Martinieref he left three hundered and fifty
thousand Rupees. The renudnder of his fortune (nearly one half) he left in legacies to the women of
his xenannah and his principal servants. The will concludes with a curious exposition of the principles
by which he regulated his conduct through life. He avows that self-love was his sole motive of action,
and that the sins of which he had been guilty were very great and manifold ; he concludes by praying
forgiveness of God, which he h(q>e8 this sincere confession of his wickedness will avail to obtain. Such
are the anecdotes wioh are related of this extraordinary character.

General Martin, though professedly a Roman Catholic, was in reality of no religion. If proof of this
is wanted it is abundantly afforded by his last will ; sums of money in the way of legacies are bequeathed
to a number of females, whose claims upon him may be easily inferred ; and his ill^timate children
are named and provided for. The peculiarities of Christianity he calls " prejudices imbibed in his
education :" its ordinances he describes, as mere priestly ceremonies. He had for some time thrown
off even the profession of Christianity : but having examined other modes of faith, and finding them as
he says, ** as ridiculous in their ceremonies as the religion in which he had been educated,'' he had
returned, though without conviction, to his original creed. Not knowing, therefore, what religion
might be true, but finding that all agreed in recommending charity to the poor, he confesses his own
deficiency in that respect ; and, wishing to make amends, bequeaths the sum of money before mentioned
for the entire maintenance and education of a certain number of boys and girls for ever.

The following it an extract ^ from his trtff .—

service, partly in the field, partly as Secretary

when about to proceed to his native country

crowned with well merited honors and

the attack of the fatal malady which
terminated his valuable life on the 16th day of

MRS. FISHER.

Tliis amiable and exemplary lady, the wife of the Reverend Henry Fisher, Senior Freridnicy
C'hapUin, was called to the rest prepared for the people of God, on Friday the 12th of Norember,
1841, in the 69th year of her age. The disease was cholera and the call fearfully radden. In a few
hours, death did his work. The speedy summons, however, is the only thing to be mietted, for
although to God's faithful people ** sudden death, is sudden glory," yet when it ii considered bow
awful such removals are to survivors, how unexpected and abrmhig the wrench of domertie ties, who
does not feel that a more calm and gradual change is to be desired.

In this case there is all that is consoling, all that could be desired to sooth the aorrowi of the soul,
and to leave the assurance that her freed and happy spirit is now with the righteous, in joy and felicity.

Mrs. Fisher's whole life had been one of piety and excellence. From a child she had feared and
loved and served God. lite Holy Scriptures from her youth had been her counsellor and guide. In
every relation of life she had not only been blameless and harmless, but a pattern of all that was praise-
worthy and of good report, humble, modest, retiring, sincere, affectionate, full of beoetoleaoe. She
did indeed exemplify the power and truth of religion. As a wife, as a mother, as a member of the
Church of Christ, she left an example which may be appealed to, as a model, without hesitation. Who
that knew her but at once recognized the Israelite indeed, the Christian Toid of guile» aeddng not her
own, but the good and happiness of all around her.

But with all her excelhmce and worth, there never was one, who more hnmbly felt her need of a
Saviour, and traced all that was good to his grace. It was with her, as it is with all God'a children,
the more they know of themselves, the greater need they feel of a Saviour's merits : the more they strive
to do God's will from the heart, the more they feel the need of a better righteoumeia than their own.
They repent of sin, but they trust not to their repentance, — their faith worketh by lofe, but tlieir trust
is in the atonement ; they bring forth the fruits of righteousness, but they know that it It God that
worketh in them and by them, and thus they are kept humble, confiding, loTing and obedlenL

It was in this spirit, she lived, it was in this spirit, she finished her ooorae, and lookad forward
through the merits of her Saviour to a joyful resurrection to eternal life.

To particularize those graces which more eminently shone forth in the chararter of Mn FUier, we
should say they were, — 1. The most deep and unaffected humility. — 2. The most entire fireedook from
selfishness. — 3. The most simple and firm confidence in the righteousness of Christ.

In her whole behaviour the humility of her Saviour was evident. It was a part of her dMunacter.
It gave a sweetness to all she said, a lustre to all she did. And as to her entire want pf m ^km t n she
scarcely seemed to think of herself in seeking to promote the comfort, the welfiune, tlie hisppineas of
others. And then her irutt in Chritt — her desire to be found in him — ^it was in foot a atrong, and
fixed, and simple faith in proportion to her humbleness of mind.

The following letter, written by her affectionate and bereaved partner (now no more) to n CSiristian
friend, sets forth the piety and faith of the subject of these sketches, which cannot bat be natenlatrd to
strengthen and encourage the faith of God's children.

**' 1 caimot tell you how gratefully I have received your friendly sympathizing remembrancea of me
in my deep distress. The suddenness of the calamity has rendered it doubly painfol — for I think I
had not sci'n my beloved and affectionate partner so well for some time, as she was through the whole
of the day of the 1 1th of the month, previous to the attack of this dreadful, irretuHbie rf i t eeee . We
had jubt finished our family prayers at nine o'clock in the evening, and she had retired to her dressiBg-

NEW BURIAL GROUND, CIRCULAR ROAD. 277

room, where she had always been in the habit of spending half an hour in reading her Bible and in
private prayer. When I entered her room, she complained of haying, as she thought, taken cold. She
felt suddenly a little indisposed. I proposed sending for Corbyn, but not willing to disturb him at that
hour, she begged me not to send but wait till the morning, — saying, she would take a little rhubarb
and magnesia, and hoped the unpleasant feeling would pass off. She requested me to pray with her,
which I did, and we retired to our pillow. We have always kept up the custom learnt in early child-
hood of repeating together the little simple prayer of a child, which is so familiarly known—

" I lay my body down to sleep, &c.
** She remained silent a while — and then with peculiar fervour repeated the affecting

words of her favorite hymn —
" Come ye sinners, poor and wretched, &c.

A second time the word seemed to flow out from her heart, and turning her face, she said —
** good night dear, dear husband — try to tleep, and don*t be uneasy, I shall be better to-morrow."
We fell asleep, as I supposed, but about two hours afterwards, I heard her groan. I jumped up and
found her in great pain — tick and suffering violent spasmodic cramps in her limbs. I immediately
sent off a carriage for the doctor, and about one In the morning he arrived. She said — ** Corbyn
is it cholera?" he evaded giving her a decisive answer, but his grave and distressed look seemed
at once to be understood — and she quietly whispered to me — ** pray for me, dear husband ! God's
will be done !" She took Corbyn's prescription and laid down upon the bed. I asked, '* I hope
dearest Mary, your whole trust and confidence are fixed on Jesus the son of God, the faithful Sa.
viour ?" She faintly smiled, and lifting up her eyes to Heaven, replied — " O ! who else ! who else !"
she speedily became insensible to all around. Did not know my son Henry, or his dear wife, or dear
Frederick, or Mrs. Dealtry, and gradually became quite insensible and sank into the sleep of death, as
if it was only to take a night's repose. I bless God for the merciful care of the dear sufferer through
the dark valley ! Naturally she had often expressed great apprehensions of the actual suffering of the
death pang — but death seemed deprived of his simple power. She had no alarms or doubts, but
seemed expecting with resignation and with fortitude and christian hope and faith, that the rod and
staff would bear her through the valley. / have the rich consolation fuUy, that my dear Mary died in
the Lord. We have been 43 years in happy enjoyment of each other's society, and I think and believe
in the sanctified sympathy and love which first bound us in the fellowship of the Lord Jesus Christ,
yet a little while and I must follow, and be re-united in unchangeable communion — see her and see
///m, the Rock of ages, on whom we built all our sweetest pleasures, and who lightened all our cares.
I feel grateful too, that she is first called to her rest. The endurance of the awfiil trial would have
been fearful indeed to her tender and loving heart, and it was always her earnest wish that it should be
so. I think her especial grace was exceeding humility. Her faith was, I may say, uniformly strong.
She made no noisy or talkative profession. 13ut she deeply felt, that the ways of righteousness were
ways of pleasantness and paths of peace. Kind and affectionate, diligent in all her duties — the best
of wives, the tenderest of mothers — the most disinterested — the most free from all selfishness y of any one
I ever knew. But I will not dwell on a subject so full of consolation, and yet so full of grief. She is
with the Lord. I cannot, I must not, repine. Heber's beautiful hymn is very sweet to my humble
Spirit —

'* Thou art gone to the grave," &c.

REV. HENRY FISHER.— (Xa/e Senior Presidency Chaplain,)

Mr. Fisher entered the ministry in the year 1795, or 6, and was ordained to a Curacy near Selby,
in the Diocese of York ; from thence he removed to Marston, where he became acquainted with that,
amiable, devoted, humble-minded Christian lady, who was indeed a help-meet for him through a long
aeries of years, and who only preceded him to her heavenly rest, a short time before. From the period
of his marriage to her in 1798, unto the time of his coming out to India in 1815, he was settled at tlie
perpetual Curacy of Kirk llammerton, procured for him by a dear and esteemed relative.

It is to be recorded, on his own admission, that at the time of his taking holy orders, and for years
after, like the Rev. Thomas Scott, the great Commentator, and many others, he had not those views of
saving truth with which it pleased God, afterwards, to enlighten his mind, and consequently not that
proper sense of the high responsibility of the ministerial office which he, that is called of God, ought to
possess. He was at Uiat time passionately attached to those pursuits and pleasures which are quite
incompatible with anything like zeal or usefulness in the Lord's service. His sister, Mrs. Stevens,
a lady well known by her eminent services to religion, both as a teacher of the truth to the young and
as a writer, and to whom he was devotedly attached, used to labour to convince him of the unsuitable-
ness, not to say, sinfulness, of those amusements he followed with such avidity. He endeavoured to
meet her arguments against his conduct, but in vain. She always silenced hun by the sword of the
Spirit, the word of God, and when he could not answer her he became angry and would turn away in
a rage. This state of things continued for two or three years, during which time his sister's tears and
prayers for him were incessant. At length, by God's grace he was led by slow degrees, to see the
truth and force of her statements and tlie folly and inconsistency of the things on which his heart had
been set. Light broke in upon his mind. His desires were brought under the influence of the blessed
Spirit, which alone can change the heart, subdue the will and affections, and give them entirely a new
direction. His sister continued to be his kind and able spiritual counsellor and guide. Every thing
was relinquished that could be thought to interfere with the great work of saving his own soul and the
souls of them that heard him. He became a diligent student of God's word with earnest prayer for
divine teaching. Luther's Commentary on the Galatians also greatly tended to confirm and strengthen
his views and to impart peace and consolation to his s]>irit.

society they had found so much delight. But happily none of these things moved him. He pursued
the even tenor of his way ; God was present with him to bless Ids preaching and labours, in a remarkable
manner, both in his own and the surrounding villages. At this period his exertions for the good of all
around became very great. Besides the care of his own small parish, he obtained the sanction of non-
Resident Ministers in the neighbouring villages to establish an evening lecture, once a week, for the
bcneiit especially of young people. Great numbers attended these lectures, and very many date their
first religious impressions to what they then heard. Even at this day his name is had in honor hy
many poor cottagers who remember him with affectionate gratitude as the instrument in God's hand
of bringing them to the knowledge of the truth as it is Jesus.

It was during a visit to one of these villages that he first became acquainted with Dr. Buchanan,
through whom his thoughts were turned to India. But the providence was so remarlcable, and the
interview so characteristic of that eminent servant of God, that we must permit Mr. Fisher to relate it
in his own words. ** I had just finished my morning Sabbath Service at the village of G. O. and was
conversing in the Church Yard with the gathering group of parishioners before returning to my home,
when I perceived a stranger in tlie crowd, whose attention to the sermon, which I had been preaching,
had drawn my eyes frequently towards the pew in which he had been seated. The villagers were
pressing round with their affectionate inquiries after my health, &c. when the stranger addressed me
with a courteous-smile, saying somewhat abniptly, ' It is a blessed occupation for a minister of God
to preach the '• tnetanoia** to a sinful world.' (My subject had been from the 3d chapter of St. John
and the 5th verse.) In reply to this address, which somewhat surprised me, I observed, 'rery troe,
and blessed are the people who know the joyful sound.' * Will you go to India ?* said he. * If oppor-
tunity served, I should not hesitate ; * I have often thought of it !' * Have you ?' said he, ' then think
of it again and when you have made up your mind let me know, I am Dr. Budianan.' We shook liandi
and 1 mounted my horse and rode away ! Some little delay arose from various caiues before my final
decision was made, but difficulties and impediments were overruled and finally the way^ was open ; 1
bid farewell to my English home and relatives and fncnds, and set off for London with my fiunily to
make all the requisite preparations for departure. The memory of the painful parting with such dear
friends still dwells upon the heart, although revolving years have softened down the harsher shadow
of the retrospect. Even now I can back the melancholy history of that dark day, when wiUi many
tears and prayers and blessings, we relized the scene of anguish described as having taken place at
Miletus between Paul and the Ephesian elders ; ' behold,' said the Apostle, * I know (£at ye all among
whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God shall see no more.' "

Mr. Fisher arrived in India in the year 1815. lie had, therefore, completed thirty yean period
of service at the time of his death, and was the oldest chaplain, not only on the establiahment, but,
that has ever been iu the country.

His first appointment was Dum Dum. He remained, however only a few months at that station.
From tlience he removed to Meerut, the scene of his Indian labours and usefulness until the year 1832.
Here his ministry was eminently blessed to the European soldiers. He was their spiritual counsellor
and friend. His visits ** to the house of mourning" during several years, so strikingly set forth in the
pages of the Christian Intelligencer, were chiefly made wliilst at that station, and many will be known
in the la^t day as the seals of his faithful labours there.

From Meei-ut, Mr. Fisher was brought down in the year 1832 to the Presidency, to occupy the
Junior Chai)lain's post at St. John's Church, then the Cathedral, and the same exemplary zeal and
devotedjiess in the cause of Christ were manifested in his conduct there.

He was associated with all those great and valued institutions which are designed to promote the
tcm])oral or spiritual interests of men.

Ou one occasion, when driven from his post of duty to seek for restoration to health, he ezpresssd in
beautiful terms the grace by wliich he was sustained. ** My sickness," he said in a letter to hia beloved
sister, " has been severe and dangerous, but mercy and undeserved compassion and love have spared
me ; it is not my intention, however, to fill my paper with the history of my own griefo and |»ains,
suffice it to say, that sweet Hope is with me and that my Saviour sanctifies and blesses and heals
and comforts me," and the same elevated feelings were cons)>icuous throughout the whole of his late
severe and complicated sufferings. No one could more fully exemplify the power and grace of Christian
h(>])c, both as it respects God's dealings with him and the prospects of future blessedness. *' He was
saved by hope." He felt amidst his acutest pains that the Lord dealt bountifully with him, and that
the sufferings of the present time were not worthy to be compared with the glory to be revealed ;
bodily pain might occasionally extort a groan, but groaning is not grumbling ; with him there was not
an expression of murmuring or repining : no petulant complaint as to why wearisome days and nights
were appointed him ; ou the contrary there was the most perfect acquiescence in the Divine disposal, the
most complete submission to the Divine will — the most entire dependence upon the strength and grace
of Jesus Christ.

It was in the midst of extreme bodily anguish and death-like exhaustion, that his son, overwhelmed
with grief, heart-broken at seeing his father's suiferin^s, enrjuired how he felt in his mind amidst them ?
He looked up and giving one of his wonted sweet smiles exclaimed with energy, '* strong in hope!
strong in hopt; !" These were almost his last words, as he only said afterwards with evident feelings of
pratitiidi' — " 1 am o.isier." It was with such elevation of mind and constant ejaculatory prayer that
his spirit passed to its destined rest, — to the paradise of God, and thus left every possible evidence
that eoiihl be desired, tiiat " the righteous hath hope in his death."

Mr. FislKT died at Miissourie after a long and painful illness, on the 16th of March 1845, and was
buried at Df^yrah in the Dhoon, near the grave of his youngest daughter, Mrs. R. U. Scott.

To die upon the battle-field
Where neither foe will shrink or yield.
Till one, the favorite of Death,
Resigns his lingering, struggling breath !
11ii»--this were glory ! but to be
Assail'd by triple enemy
Of climate, want, and treachery ;
Oh ! 'tis enough to chill a Hero's fire.
And make him coldly— cowardly expire !
Bat no ! they did not thus — the Brave
Who sleep within a far-off grave.
In time of need left desolate.
By Blan not conquer'd, but by Fate—
With sword in hand they stood— they fell !
Oh I who that dreadful hour can tell
When Life, to accident a prey.
Bids farewell ever to the Day,
And plunges in Death's dreary Night,
Without one parting blessing's light

Of mother— sister — ^father — ftiend.
Or dearer one, to kindly lend
The lamp of Hope, to dying eyes,
And bid them close their memories
For brighter visions in the skies,
Where in communion once again
For aye they'll blissfully remain !

Alsis ! no tender rites like these
Assuag'd their bitter destinies —
With heart-strings torn they sank to rest
But ** by their country's wishes blest"
They'll live remember'd ever here :
Pity shall weep as warm a tear
Upon this empty tomb, as though
Their dust were consecrate below.

The flag that like a willow waves
Above their monumental graves.
Shall yet to unborn ages tell
How heroes fought — how heroes fell ! W.

MAJOR GENERAL SIR ROBERT SALE,
The Hero of Jellalabad,

Sir Robert Sale was the son of Colonel Sale, one of the old fighting Colonels of the East J n^
Company, who distinguished himself on several occasions in their service. He was, we believe, engaged
in a sortie from Vellore when his gallant son was bom, which event took place on the 2d September,
1782. His father was a Yorkshireman ; his mother a Kentish woman, and daughter of Commodore
Beynes, who was lost with his ship in the West Indies.

His first commission bears date the 24th of February, 1795, when he was gazetted as an Ensign in
the 36th foot. Two years after he became a Lieutenant, and immediately proceeded to India. He
then exchanged into the 12th and served creditably with Lord Harris, during the campa^ whidi
terminated in Tippoo's death. He was engaged in the battle of Mallavelly, the first general action
at which the hero of a hundred fights, His grace the Duke of Wellington, was present. And at the
taking of Seringapatam, which very soon followed, he was very creditably distingiushed.

The years which followed were eventful in the history of India ; British power was tiien far fkom
established or consolidated as it afterwards became ; and the native princes but sulkily submitted to
what they deemed, and with colour of reason, foreign usurpation. The consequence was, intrigue and
treachery ; a show of peace, without the reality ; a disposition to take advantage of every nntoward
circumstance by which the authority of the Company might be narrowed or shaken ; and a readinsss to
associate themselves with any allies by whose aid the objects of their fear and their aversion might be
rooted out of the land. Such were the feelings which engendered the Maharatta war, during the

MAJOR GENERAL SIR ROBERT SALE. 299

whole of which, under General Stevenson, Sir Robert, still a subaltern, served with distinction. And
had not a man of Lord Wellesley's firmness and decision held the office of Governor Greneral, and
had not the gallant army been commanded, as it was by Liord Lake, and Sir Arthur Wellesley, and
had there not been amongst its subalterns many who were animated by the spirit or influenced by the
example of Sir Robert Sale, it is more than probable that a campaign which added millions to the
exchequer, and kingdoms to the territory of the E^t India Company, would have terminated in their
expulsion from India. It was not until 1806, that Sir Robert, being then in his twenty -fourth year,
obtained his Company.

In 1809, he married the distinguished lady who is now his sorrowful survivor. Lady Sale is dio
grand-daughter of Alexander Wynch, a Yorkshireman, who was Governor of Madras ; her father George
Wynch, was a Civilian in the Company's Service. We need not say what an object of interest she
became to the whole of Europe during her severe and perilous captivity under Akbar Khan ; nor with
what eagerness her journal of her trials and sufferings was devoured by the reading public, after her so
unexpected deliverance. Suffice it to say, she proveid herself in all respects worthy of the heroic indi-
vidual with whom her lot in life was united. Three months after his marriage, Sir Robert was engaged
nnder Colonel Chalmers, in storming the lines of Travancore and he was present at the capture of
the Mauritius, when that beautiful Island, the Paradise of the East, was tsken from the French by
Greneral Abercrombie.

Had Sir Robert Sale possessed powerful friends, his promotion no doubt would have been more
rapid. He bad now seen much and varied service, during more than three campaigns, in all of which
he was actively engaged ; and frequently, by his gallantry, attracted the marked approbation of hit
superiors. And yet he had not risen higher than the rank of Captain ; nor was it until the year 1813,
after a period of eighteen years almost unremitting service that he reached the rank of field officer.

In 1818, he was placed upon half pay, the second battalion of the 12th, to which he belonged, having
been reduced. And " the piping time of peace" but ill-assorting with tiie disposition of one who had
been bred amongst battles ; in 1821 by ** paying the difference," he effected an exchange into the 13th
Light Infantry, and proceeded in 1823, to India. This was decidedly the busiest period of Sir Robert's
active life. The Burmese War, was then raging ; and an officer of his intelligence and intrepidity was
a great acquisition to our Army, contending as it was, with active, daring and skilful enemies. He was
present at the capture of Rangoon on the 2d of May, where his conduct was such as to attract the
marked approbation of all his superiors. In the month following he stormed the stockades near
Kemmendine, for which he received the thanks of the Commanding officer in the field of battle ; nor
did the notice of that affair end there. The gallantry and skill which he then displayed were honorably
mentioned in a general order issued to the army in the following July. This was in 1824. In the
December of that year, he stormed the enemy's lines ; and four days afterwards, having been placed at
the head of 1,600 men, he led them with such determined gallantry that the Burmese warriors,
though skilfully posted, and far outnumbering his own troops, were every where routed from their
position. For this service he was highly extolled. It was followed rapidly by a signal victory obtained
by him over the enemy near the great Pagoda of Rangoon. And on the 15th of December he received
a severe wound in the head, while storming an entrenchment, Koskein, " making altogether four viC'
tories in the course of one month,— every one of them hard-fought battles."

Sir Robert Sale was now universally regarded not merely as a gallant Soldier but an able Com-
mander. His name again appears in the general orders, as one who had entitled himself to the
respect of the Army ; and having been appointed to the command of the Brigade sent to reduce
Bassein, he justified the selection by the complete success of all the operations undertaken by that
portion of the Array with whose conduct and direction he was entrusted.

On the 2d of June 1825, he obtained the rank of Lieutenant. Colonel ; towards the close of that year
we find him again engaged with the Shawms and the Burmese at Prome, as usual, with honor to himself,
having succeeded both in defeating the attack of the enemy, and in his attack upon their lines and
heights on the following day.

On the 13th of January, 1826, he received a severe wound when storming Mellown. On this occa-
sion his signal gallantry was noticed in tfie handsomest manner by the Commander-in-Chief, who pre-
sented him with the badge and ribband of a Companion of the Bath.

We now approach the period of the disastrous expedition to Affghanistan. His brevet rank as
Colonel bears date the 28th of June, 1831 ; and in 1838, he commanded the first Bengal Brigade of
the Army of the Indus, to whom the advance into the country of Dost Mumammed, was confided. The
events of that melancholy enterprise are too fresh in public memory to need any detail of them here.
The advances through that difficult country, the expedition to Girishk, the storming and capture of
Ghuznee, were all services in which he was honorably distinguisheld, and for which he received the
local rank of Major-General, and the star of a Knight Commander of the Bath ; while the new Sovereign,
Shah Soojah, dignified him with the order of the Douranee Empire. The forces sent to the Kohistan
country for the purpose of subduing and capturing Dost Mohammed, were placed under his command,
and Tootum Durrah, Thoolghur, Borhoo Kush Ghur, Kar Durrah, soon felt the power of his arms,
and yielded successively to the active and vigorous proceedings by which all his operations were
characterized. On the 2d of November 1840, '* he expelled the enemy under the command of Dost
Mohammed, from the forts and town of Perwan." and when the surrender of that chieftain, into the
hands of Sir William MacNaughten, apparently put an end to the war, he was raised by Shah Soojah,
to the highest class of the above mentioned order of Knighthood, by which that short-lived Sovereign
marked his sense of the merits and services of those to whom he was chiefly indebted for the establish-
ment of his authority.

Hitherto we have seen the hero in success. Up to the date last mentioned, a prosperous issue
attended all the warlike efforts of the British army. Now came disasters by which their constancy was
sorely tried; and it is -not too much to affirm, that to the heroic gallantry and endurance of this

2 Q 2

300 MAJOR GENERAL SIR ROBERT SALE.

veteran Soldier, under a pressure of disasters and difficulties tudi as would have orerbome almost any
other commander, is tu be ascribed our rescue from final ruin, when Akbar Khan and the Affghans ,
rose up against us.

Our space does not permit us to enter in detail into the gallant exploits of Sir Robert in storming
the Khoord Cabul pass, drivinK the enemy from the heights of Teezeen, forcing the paat at Jngdulluck,
and storming the fort at Manaoo Khail. ' But his retreat upon Jellalabad, and the heroic stKod which
he made tliere, under circumstances almost unparalleled in the annals of warfare, hare given the crown-
ing grace and glory to his character as one of the most renowned of British warriors in India.

At Ghoznee our hero received a sabre wound in the chin, and musket balls in the breast and shoulder,
and still he continued amongst the most active of those engaged in the service ; directing by his
counsel (as far as his counsel would be listened to by the civilians who were in that country at the head
of affairs,) and animating by his example.

He was also severely wounded in the leg at the Khoord Cabul pass by a musket shot, Hat ball enter-
ing near the ankle, shivering the bone, and being taken out at the other side from the skin, where it
hi^ made a lodgment. He was suffering much from this wound when, on the 7th of April, he entered
Jellalabad, an almost defenceless village ; his men, few in number, and disheartened by the severities
both of the campaign and the season, and in want of almost all the necessaries which would enable
them to make a stand against the enemy, now flushed with success, having captured or massacred
most of the British authorities and a large portion of the troops, and under a leader who cherished a
natural resentment against the subverters of his father's throne, and who was fiiUy bent upon the
utter extirpation of the hated invaders. To resolve, as he did, under such circumstanoes, to make a
last stand in such a place, proves Sir Robert Sale to have been everj inch a Soldier.

He immediately set about rendering the place as defensible as possible, and superintended the
labours of his gallant band with unremitting vigilance, although he was obliged to be carried about in
a litter, his wound not permitting him to use his foot. There was not a day on which he did not
insist upon being carried to the ramparts, for the purpose of personally inspecting tiie surrounding
country ; and when pressed upon closely by Akbar's savage hordes, these daring and hardy moun-
taineers were made to feel that it was a lion they had at bay, whom, though wounded, it was dangerous
to provoke to combat.

We must not omit to mention that this gallant stand was made, notwithstanding an order from
General Elphinstone to deliver up the place to the Affghan chief, with whom, it was stated, a treaty had
been made, guaranteeing the sa^ conduct of the British into India. But Sir Robert Sale's sagscioiia
mind saw the treachery which this document had been fraudulently procured to conceal, and he bravely
as well as wisely determined, great as was the responsibility of such an act, to disobey it.

And it was not alone the severity of the season and the fury of the enemy against whieb he had to
contend. Even the accidents of nature seemed to conspire against him. Scurcely was tiie rampart
completed, which had cost him and his almost famished Soldiers so many weeks of nnremitting toil,
and by which, at last, as it seemed to them, a certain degree of security was obtrined, when by a
shock of an earthquake, it was leveUed to the ground. But his fortitude rose sublime over even this
great calamity, and again he and his men addressed themselves to their weary work, until their rude
fortification was again such as to afford them some shelter from the enemy.

From the 12th of November, 1841, to the 7th of April, 1842, they continued time straitly invested
in this miserable place, except when the near approach of the enemy, or their unguarded poeition, gave
some opportunity for a sortie, in which cattle were sometimes captured, which served to provision the
little garrison, when they were reduced to the last extremity for want of food.

At length the approach of Major General Sir George Pollock, with a relieving army, which bad long
been anxiously expected, seemed to indicate the very moment when the enemy mig^t be successfully
assailed. Akbar's attention was naturally drawn to the advance of British troops by the Khyber pass ;
and had he been permitted to molest them as he might have done, they must have been seriously
embarrassed upon their march, if indeed (and which is doubtful) they could have forced a passage.
But just at that critical moment. Sir Robert Sale and his gallant band turned out in order or battle,
and utterly routed the besieging army, capturing their guns, ammunition, and camp.

This was, indeed, a crowning victory. Great was the joy for this almost unhoped*for ddi f e r an ce.
The British now, in their turn, became the assailants, Sir Robert Sale had the satisfhctiOD of taking
share in the battle of Teezeen, in which the enemy were finally defeated ; and what mutt have been his
delight to feel himself again restored to the society of his heroic wife, whose long oaptivity under
Akbar must have cost him so many anxious thoughts, and whose noble bearing in adversity proved her
a mate worthy of such a soldier. .

The foUowmg is an extract from the journal of her captivity. It describes her restoration to her
gallant husband, after suffering the most extreme, and a deliverance all but unhoped for.

** We had proceeded but a short way on our journey, when a horseman arrived with a note, infiDrming
ns that Sale was close at hand with a brigade. I had fever hanging about me for some days, and h*w«g
scarce able to sit on my horse, had taken my place in a kujava, the horrid motion of which had made
nie feel ten times worse than before I entered it. But the news renovated my s treng th , I shook off
fever and all ills, and anxiously awaited his arrival, of which a cloud of dust was the forenmner."
" It is impossible to express our feelings on Sale's approach. To my daughter and myself, happinesi
so long delayed as to be almost unexpected, was actually painful, and accompanied by a diokii^
sensation, which could not obtain the relief of tears. When we arrived where the infantry were posted,
they cheered all the captives as they passed them, and the men of the 13th pressed forward to welcome
us individually. Most of the men had a little word of hearty congratulation to offer, each, in bis own
style, on the restoration of his colonel's wife and daughter ; and then my highly.wron^t feelings
found the desired relief, and I could scarcely speak to thank the soldiers for then- sympsthy, wldlst tiie
long withheld tears now found their course. On arrivhag at the camp, Captain Backhouse And a royal

nhita from his monntam-train gtint ; and not only our old friends, but all the officers in the party,
came to offer congratulations, and welcome our return from etqitimiyJ'*

Sir Robert was now created a Knight of the Grand Cross of the Bath, and receiTed the thanks of
Parliament, which never were better deserved, '' for the skill, intrepidity, and perseverance, displayed
in the military operations in Affghanistan/'

In the month of December 1843, although but a Colonel in the service, by the Duke of Wellington's
reoonmiendation, he was honoured with the command of the 13th or Prince Albert's Regiment of Light
Infiuitry, he being the only officer of the same rank upon whom such a command had been conferred.

He returned with Lady Sale to England at the close of that war, and they were received every where
with demonstrations of honour and respect He had attained an age, at which, from his wounds and
length of service, he might have well retired from an active military life, and sought the cepose so
congenial to advancing years, but he was devoted to his profession, and again embarked for India
again commanded in the British force tliat advanced upon the Sutl^^ and there died in battle, fal-
Img, like Sir J. Moore, almost in the moment of victory ; towards the close of the action, he was
struck by a grape shot on the left thigh, which was so dreadfully shattered, that he did not long
survive his wound.

. The Commander-in-Chief could not have better or more truly estimated the general regret at this
distinguished officer's fall who had been fifty-one years in the service of his country. His Excellency
says, speaking of our loss, *' It has been severe ; it could not be esteemed small, if we had no other
to record ; when I mention, that, towards the conclusion of the affair, Major General Sir Robert Sale,
to whom India and England are so much indebted, had his left thigh shattered by a grape shot, and
that the wound has since proved fatal." Thus has Sir Robert Sale, at length worked out his glorious
destiny, " The Soldier's grave." But the memory of such a man ought not to be suffered to pass away
or be forgotten now that tranquillity is once again restored, and we have leisure to look for some
suitable and lasting memorial to one who fell in his country's cause."

SIR JOHN M'CASKILL, K. C. B.

Sir Johsi M'Caskill entered the Army in 1797, and rose through the various gradations of rank,
to be a Colonel in 1838. He was also a Major-General in India. During the course of his distin-
giuished career, Sir John served at the taking of Porto-Rico, and the siege of St. Lucia, in May,
1797. He was present at the siege and capture of Forts Sattarah, Singhur, and Woosattah. He came
to India in the fleet which was attacked by Admiral Linois, in 1805. He behaved with great valour
and distinction at the reduction of Sboolapore, and after the victories in Candahar he was created a
K. C. B. Like his gallant companion in arms, Sir Robert Sale, M'Caskill received the thanks of Par-
liament, and like him also, his deeds of faAne have ended in a warrior's grave. Sir John M'Caskill was
a Native of the Isle Skye, and was descended from a respectable family ; married early in life, a daughter
of — Steele, Esq. and has left one son and a numerous family of daughters, and was strictly a religious
man.

Sir John M'Caskill was Lt. Col. of the 9th Foot and a General of Division when he fell at Moodkee
the 18th December 1845, at the very hour of victory, as he had often expressed a wish to do. A better
or a braver man never went forth to fight the battles of his country, his name therefore ought to be
enrolled in the annals of fame and to be embalmed in the recollection of a grateful posterity.

LORD KEANE.

This gallant officer breathed his last at Burton Lodge, in Hampshire, in the 64th year of his age, the
diseases with which he was affiicted, having terminatMl in dropsy.

The deceased, John Keane, (Baron Keane, of Guznee in AfTghanistan,) was second son of Sir John
Keane, Baronet, of Belmont, Waterford, by his first marriage with Miss KeUy, daughter of Mr. John
Kelly of Bclgrave, and brother of Sir Richard Keane, Baronet, of Cappoquin House, Waterford. He
was bom in 1781, and married first in 1806, Miss Smith, second daughter of G^eral Smith, by whom
he had issue several children; and secondly, in August 1840, to Miss Charlotte Maria Boland,
youngest daughter of the late Lieutenant Colonel Boland.

He entered the Army at a very early age, his commission as Ensign dating as far back as 1793. In
the Egyptian campaign of 1801, he served as Aide-de-camp to the Earl of Cavan ; and in 1809, we find
the then Lieutenant- Colonel Keane in the command of the 13th Regiment at the capture of Marti-
nique. 1812, he was destined to join the Army under the Duke of Wellington at Madrid ; and his repu-
tation was such, that he was, immediately on his arrival there, entrusted with the command of a
Brigade in the third division in which corps he served until the end of the war with France in 1814,
and was present at the battles ofVittoria, the Pyrenees, Nivelle, (near Bayonne,) and Orthes; action at
Vic Bigorre, battle of Toulouse, and the less gallant actions of that war. In August 1814, he was
appointed to a command, ordered for particular service, and on his arrival at Jamaica, being Senior
Officer, assumed the command of the Military force destined to co-operate with Vice Admiral the Hon.
Sir Alexander Cochrane, for the attack on New Orleans and the provinces of Louisiana.

In the year 1833, he succeeded Sir Colin Halket as Commander-in-Chief of the Army in Bombay ;
and after nearly six years service in that Presidency, on the 29th of October 1838, Lord, (then Sir
John) Keane, received authority from the Government of India to organise and lead into Scinde a force
intended to co-operate with the army, then on the north-west frontier of India, under the command of
Sir Henry. Fane. In the month of December following however. Sir Henry forwarded his resignation
to head-quarters, and the command of the combined forcea devolved upon Sir John Keane.

THE LATE MAJOR GENERAL SIR WILLIAM NOTT, G. C. B.

■ •

A Monumental tablet to the memory of the lamented General has been erected in St. Peter's Church .
Carmarthen. It consists of a beautiful white marble slab, on which is the inscription, bordered by a
narrow edge of dove marble. The ornaments are plain but elegant ; on the top is the representation of
a sword, copied from that presented to the late General, by the Governor General of India ; and beneath
are the armorial bearings of the deceased, with the motto *' Pacem sed coronatam."

The following is the inscription, which while it pourtrays with unaffected truthfulness the career of
him, whose undaunted valour, the most trying occasions shone so conspicuously, and in private life
was so much beloved ; bears noble testimony to the heroism and self-devotion of the gaUant Sepoy,
who always found in Nott a devoted friend and brave Commander.

Sacred to the Memory of the late Maior-General Sir IKTUliam If ott, G. C B.

of tlie Honourable East India Company's Service, who served his country in the East Indies

during forty-four years ; having proceeded to India as a Cadet, in Uie year 1800,

and returned to his native country in the year 1844 ; during this long period he had at all ttmei

and under all circumstances the good of his country and the honour of his profenioii

uppermost in his thoughts.

At the close of his career he retrieved the Military character of his Nation in Central Aaia,

by repelling the attempts of the Affghans to recapture Candahar,

from December 1841, to August 1842.

After the destruction of our Army at Cabool, with a force of between five and six tfaouaand men,

he finally advanced to Ghuznee on the 7th August 1842, after defeating the Affghan Army

on the 30th of the same month, consisting of twenty thousand men ; he recaptured the fortreaa in the

face of his numerous enemies, blew up the fortifications, and withdrew his victorions army

within the British boundary of the Western Provinces of Upper India.

Major-General Sir William Nott, G. C. B., was bom on the

20th Jan., 1782, and died on the 1st Jan. 1845.

Through the whole of his long and eventful life he was supported by the religioof edneation

he had received in his youth ; and by his trust in his Creator.

Ever acting up to the precepts of his religion, he endeared himself to the Natives of India,

and more particularly to the noble Sepoys, the brave Soldiery of India,

whom he was destined to command ; and having placed his Military reputation in their keeping,

they on no occasion disappointed his expectations ; but when all were dismayed at the destmotion of

our army at Cabool, they enabled him to withstand the assaults of hia enemiei and finally

to overcome every opposition.

THE LATE REV. DOCTOR KENNEDY— ^Ficar General qf Bengal and Principal qf

St. John*t College.)

The Rev. Doctor l^lTilliam Kennedy was at an early age pointed out by his Superiors in the
Seminary of Weicford, as a youth of great promise, to the Right Rev. Dr. Keating, the Bishop of
Ferns, and in virtue of the recommendation, sent by his Lordship to the National College of Maynooth.
Here he took his place in a class consisting of about ninety students, all of whom had been sent to
Maynooth from the several Diocesan Seminaries of Ireland, in consequence of similar recommenda-
tions from their respective Superiors. To obtain a high place in so numerous, and at the same time,
so carefully selected a class, talents and industry of a far more than ordinary description were obvi-
ously necessary. Yet, from his very first recommendation, until he closed his Collegiate cai'eer, the
lamented subject of this memoir always bore away from his fellow-students the highest literary honors
in Classics, in Philosophy, in Mathematics and Theology. His progress in the sacredotal virtues kept
pace with his eminent literary and scientific proficiency. His companions, whilst they admired his
great talents were still more astonished at his profound humility, obedience, edifying piety, and con-
stant, punctual regularity. These great qualities marked him out in their opinion, as well as in the
judgment of his superiors, as one destined to render important service to religion. Towards the close
of his collegiate course, it was generally believed that the Archbishop Vicar Apostolic of Bengal, was
about to be appointed to the See of Pitsburgh, in Pennsylvania. Filled with a holy zeal to labour on a
foreign Mission, Mr. Kennedy and a few others of his pious associates, at once offered to devote them-
selves to the service of that Mission. The Archbishop's destination having been however fixed for
Madras, the same pious band, adhering to the principle of their first holy resolve, accompanied Bishop
Caiew, to that Presidency, A. D. 1838. For five years. Rev. Mr. Kennedy laboured on the Madras
Mission with a zeal and <^interestedness worthy of his first fervour. On the appointment of Bishop
Carew to Bengal, his Lordship, sensible of the veneration and confidence entertained by the Clergy
and Laity for Dr. Kennedy, appointed him to administer the Vicariate of Madras, until the Holy See
should send out his successor.

Towards the close of 1843, Doctor Kennedy entered on the Bengal Mission. For many of our
readers it is unnecessary to expatiate on the talents and virtues displayed by him since his arrival
amongst us. The Catholic Clergy and Laity of Calcutta, to whom they were well known, mourn with
one accord in him, the premature death of a Priest whose moral and intellectual accomplishments did
honor to his Sacred Ministry, and conferred great blessings on the community to which he belonged.
Among the Military, his zeal in the cause of temperance, gained over numbers of proselytes, and by
this means brought many hardened sinners to habits of sobriety and virtue.

Wholly devoted to the cultivation of piety and learning he never mixed in society, except to dis-
pense the blessings of religion, or to advance the moral interests of his neighbour. His days thus
passed on serenely, until he consummated, by a death precious in the sight of the Lord, his valuable
life. After having suffered for a few days from dysentery, a disease which attacked him often, since
he came to India, he calmly resigned bis soul to God, on the morning of July 17th A. D. 1846,
aged 33 years, destitute indeed, of earthly goods, but leaving to his brethren in the sacred ministry the
rich inheritance of his Holy example.

The following inscription is inscribed to his Memory in the Catholic Cathedral .—

To perpetuate with honor the Memory of
an humble, a pious, charitable, zealous and highly-gifted priest,
the Very Rev. IV. Kennedy, a native of Ireland, County Wexford,
Vicar General of Bengal, Principal of St. John's College, this tribute of friendship and veneration
for departed worth is erected by the Lackersteen family. This lamented Clergyman
died on the 17th July 1846, in the 33d year of his age,
leaving to his brethren in the sacred ministry an illustrious example of sacerdotal virtues.
** Being made perfect in a short time, he fulfilled a long course for his soul ; pleased God therefore
He hastened to bring him out of the midst of iniquities.''

** May he rest in peace." — Amen

THE VERY REV. DR. RABASCALL, V. G. B.

The very Rev. Dr. Rabascall, expired at 12 o'clock on Friday, the 20th Nov. 1846. The death
of this much lamented Clergyman at about the age of thirty-fivc; must be ascribed in a great mea-

■ure to bis unwillingness to omit even when indisposed, any of the sacred and important .datiM
confided to him.

The great worth of Doctor Rabascall has been known for some years to the Catholics of BengaL
About the year 1840, the lamented subject of this memoir having been sent by the Holy See aa
Superior of the Mission to Mindanao, one of the Philippine Islands, passed on hia way thither throfugh
Madras, where he became known to the Archbishop Vicar Apostolic of Bengal. The political atate
of the Spanish Government (Dr. Rabascall was a Native of Spain) rendering at that time hia Miiaioii
unavailing, he was permitted by the Holy See to enter on the Indian Mission, and aa the Archbishop
at this juncture was appointed to Bengal, Doctor Rabascall preferred to serve under his grace, rather
than under a strange Prelate, with whom he had formed no acquaintance. In the Bengal Miaaion,
Serampore was tlie first district in which Dr. Rabascall's prudence, piety and zeal were displayed.
His assiduous attention there to promote the cause of religion and education soon won for him the
respect and affection of his flock. From Serampore Dr. Rabascall was removed by the Holy See to
Aden, where he continued his Missionary career with distinguished success for several montha. With
the permission of his superiors he again returned to the Bengal Mission. His distinguished succeaa in
the insti-uction and conversion of the Natives, attracted the notice of several respectable Catholics,
who generously contributed to provide for his wants, and thus enable him to devote hia energiea*
uninterruptedly to the great cause in which he had laboured hitherto with such advantage. At tiie
death of the late lamented Doctor Kennedy, Dr. Rabascall was appointed Vicar Greneral and Superior
of St. John's College, and for the short time he filled these importants office, gave great hopea that
his Ministry would be attended with a largely increased benediction. In the midst of these hopea,
it has pleased his Creator to accept his pious intentions, instead of the labours he would have to
undergo had he survived. After much suffering, endured with patient and edifying reaignation, he ex-
pired full of hope, overflowing with gratitude, inflamed with an earnest desire of seeing and en}QjTDg
the great object of his love, he closes his eyes to this world.

JOHN BARRETTO, ESa

It will gratify every admirer of benevolence, and well-wisher of the cause of humanity, to learn, that
the late John fiarretto, Esq. who was cut off in the prime of his youth, gave, previously to hia death,
a munificent proof of what might have been expected from him, had he been spared to hia friends and
the community. In his will he left five lacks of rupees to be distributed for the benefit of reUgioiia
and charitable institutions. Of the interest raised on this sum 3000 rupees per annum are beatowed
on that admirable establishment, the Native Hospital ; 3,600 rupees per annum on the Pdrtogoeie
Churches ; 4,700 per annum on the Protestant Churches in Calcutta, 1400 per annum on the Charity
School ; 1 ,400, on the Portuguese poor ; and annual sums to a considerable amount to the PortngiUMi
Churches at Bandel, Bombay, and Goa.

The allotment of these very liberal donations ia entrusted to the Master in Equity of thB Sopreme

MR. CHARLES CORN ELI US.~( S'enior Uncovenanied Assistant in the late Board qf IVade ofice,)
Mr. Charles Comeliua, Senior, was the oldest uncovenanted servant of Grovemment, having hcen
first employed in the public service in 1769, at the period the new works in Fort William were in pro-
gress under the superintendence of Lieut.-Col. J. Lillyman, whence he was removed to fill a sitnatioD as
assistant under the late Venerable Mr. Charles Grant, at the first institution of the oflice of the Board
of Trade in 1774, where he continued up to the time of his diiisolution, thus accomplishing a coarse of
ser^-ice under Government, embracing the unusually long period of 60 years. On the 21st September
1829, after a short and sudden illness, Mr. Cornelius closed his earthly career, at the advanced age of
77 years, 4 months, leaving to deplore his irreparable loss a disconsolate widow, several sons and
daughters, and a numerous progeny of grand-children, on whose grateful memory is deeply impressed
those acts of affectionate kindness, on the part of the deceased, which were unceasingly diiccted to the
promotion of their welfare, an object, which, with the limited means he possessed, was not accompUshed
without the sacrifice of many individual comforts, which however he cheerfully resigned, regardless of
every personal consideration. As a Christian, his piety was fervent, sincere, and habitoal, and as a
member of society, his best eulogy is to be found in the esteem entertained for his character by Ma
numerous friends and acquaintances, whose sympathy in the afflictive dispensation which bereaved his
family of a friend and protector, marked in a manner too unequivocal to be mistaken, their aenae of
his worth. In strict conformity with his pressing injunction that his body might be ooounitted
uncofhned to its kindred earth, Mr. Cornelius' remains were interred accordingly in the area of the
principal Catholic Church of Calcutta, in the presence of a large concourse of mourners, and the tears
of affection and friendship hallowed the grave which closed over the mortal part of this tmljr
upright and worthy man.

paternal affection.

THE GREEK CHURCH.

The first eminent Grecian who settled in Calcutta was Hadjee Alexios Aroyree,'*' a native of
Philippopolis : he came to Bengal in 1770.

At the commencement of the Government of Mr. Hastings, Argyree received a favourable answer to
a petition he presented for permission to establish a Greek Church in Calcutta. Death put a period to
the farther pious intentions of Argyree. He died in Calcutta on the 5th of August 1777.

The foundation of the present Greek Church was laid in June 1780. Three years after the death of
Argyree. It was consecrated on the 6th -of August 1781, and dedicated to the Transfiguration
OF OUR Blessed Redeemer on Mount Thabor. The estate of the late Argyree,t and his surviving
family contributed to the purchase of the ground and the erection of the building which cost together
about thirty thousand rupees, — but the principal part of this sum arose from voluntary contributions
on the solicitation of Mr. Parthenio, a native of Corfew who settled in Bengal 1775. This Gentleman
attracted the notice of Mr. Hastings, who with that liberality and condescension for which he was ever
distinguished placed his name at tiie head of the subscription for two thousand rupees and thus set an
example to the English to encourage the pious intentions of the Greeks. The English Gentlemen
contributed largely, and the few poor Greeks trading to Bengal added each their mite to the aggregate.

HON'BLE COMPANY'S BOTANICAL GARDEN. 317

WILLIAM ROXBURGH, M. D. F. L. S. AND S. A.^CLate Superintendant of the Botanical

Garden of the Hon* hie East India Company in Bengal.)

Diniliam Roxbnrg^h, a Native of Ayrshire, in North Britain, was bom at Underwood, near
Lymington, in tiie parish of Craige, on the Z9th June 1759 ; his early years passed away rapidly amidst
the romantic scenery that seems to have inspired the muse of his countryman, Robert Bums, and con-
ferred both grace and energy on the poetical labours of an humble ploughman. The happy facility,
and comparative ease, with which knowledge is obtained in Scotland, soon pointed out a learned pro-
fession as an object of laudable ambition to his parents. He was, therefore, educated expressly for this
object ; and to be a physican was the aim and end at which all his hopes and all his endeavours pointed.
Dr. Roxburgh received an invitation from the Government of Bengal to take charge of the Botanical
Garden established there ; on his arrival in Calcutta he found a number of intelligent men, professing
principles and opinions like himself and anxious above all things to contribute to the reputation of the
LinuKan School ; he soon formed an intimacy with, and became the particular friend and associate of
Koenig, a celebrated German Botanist whose reputation and abilities obtained for him a kind and even
munificent reception in the east. Dr. Roxburgh returned to Europe in 1797, and obtained his degree ;
on his return to Bengal in 1799, he transmitted a variety of interesting communications, relative to
the culture, properties, and comparative strength of hemp and other vegetable fibres, the growth of the
East Indies.

In 1805 Dr. Roxburgh was gratified with the gold medal of the Society for the Promotion of Arts,
&c. on account of his valuable communications, relative to East India productions ; he again left Ben-
gal, and on his arrival in England, made choice during some time of the village of Chelsea, for his re-
sidence. In 1805-C, he communicated another paper to the Society of Arts, on the culture, properties,
&c. of hemp ; a subject which became still more important than ever, in consequence of the uncertainty
of our political and commercial relations with Russia. After visiting his native country and endeavouring
to obtain some relief for an exhausted constitution, he returned once more to Bengal. In 1812, the
doctor favored the Society with observations on the growth of the Teak tree, and in 1813, he obtained
a second gold medal for his interesting communications on the growth of trees in India. During his
residence in the East the subject of this memoir was indefatigable in his researches, discoveries and
communications ; while the garden under his management became the scene of a multitude of useful
experiments. Attentive to every thing around him, he composed several dissertations on the Hindoo
method of cultivating the Sugar Cane, and manufacturing the juice.

As if to prove how serviceable botany may be rendered to the subsistence of mankind, the doctor
interested himself greatly during the dreadful famine which occurred in several parts of India in 1791,
2 and 3, particularly at Masulipatam on account of the failure of the periodical rains, and which reduced
the population of the northern Circars to olie half of their inhabitants. He accordingly drew up and
transmitted to the Government of Madras a variety of suggestions for the cultivation of all such valu-
able products as might supply food to the natives, when the rice crop fails, and thus become an effectual
substitute for granaries. In that department of natural history to which he was most attached, his zeal
and industry were unequalled ; his collection of drawings of Indian plants alone amounted to near
3,000.

The Botanical Garden at Calcutta flourished and was brought into great repute under th6 auspices
of its celebrated and indefatigable Curator. Its different quarters were laid out in a scientific manner,
and exhibited a rich variety of specimens here ; those attached to that pleasing study on their arrival
from Europe, experienced a high degree of gratification, collected in one single spot, they witnessed
a fine and singular exhibition of Asiatic plants ; the richest foliage, — the most beautiful tints — the
greatest diversity of size, shape, and forms, all tended to delight the senses and captivate the imagina-
tion of the common beholder ; while the statesman and the man of science beheld new incentives to
industry, new inlets to knowledge, new elements, of trade, manufactures, and commerce. It is to the
superintendant of this valuable establishment that the English spice plantations in Sumatra are in-
debted both for their existence and increase. Dr. Roxburgh in consequence of his own earnest repre-
sentations was authorised by the Supreme Government in 1795-6, to send persons properly qualified
to the Moluccas to procure plants and seeds of every thing valuable, particularly the nutmeg and clove
trees. In 1802-3, he employed his own son, then his assistant and afterwards his successor, on a
similar mission ; the result of which was 22,000 nutmeg and 7,000 clove plants. It also appears
from the certificate of the Governor of Bencoolen, in 1803, that the plantations there were all in a
flourishing condition, and that no fewer than 13,000 nutmeg trees, had been distributed among the
Malay chiefs.

Dr. Roxburgh took leave of Bengal for the last time in the summer of 1813 ; on his arrival in Eng-
land he visited many old acquaintances, and renewed several of his ancient friendships. On the 3 1 st
of May 1814, he attended in person the noble saloon belonging to the Society of Arts, and received
from the hand of their noble President, the late Duke of Norfolk, a third gold medal for his interest-
ing communications, which was prefaced by an eloquent and appropriate speech in the presence of an
elegant and crowded assembly. He soon after repaired to his native country, and worn out by in-
firmities, not by age, he resigned his life at Park-place, Edinburgh, on the lOtfa of April 1815, in
the 57th year of his age.

MRS. ANN THOMAS.

The subject of the following brief Memoir was bom in Market Drayton, Shropshire, in June 1802.
Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. Poole, were both truly and eminently pious. Mra. Tliomas was at a
very early period of life, the subject of serious impressions, and, as is often the case under similar
circumstances, her conversion was a gradual work ; it was not until she was nther more than fifteen
years of age, that the work assumed a fixed character, and she became decided for God. From that
time to the day of her death, she was enabled to maintain an unsullied profession of the Chriatiaii name,
and to adorn it by a holy walk and conversation.

She was active in benevolence, and for a number of years was actively engaged as a Sunday achooL

MAJOR E. D'ARCY TODD, K. L. ^.^(Late Political Agent, Herat.)

Zniiot D'Arey Todd, arrived in India as a 2d Lieutenant of Artillery in May 1824 ; served with
the Foot Artillery at the siege and capture of Bhurtpore in 1825-26 ; was attached to the Horse Ar-
tillery early in 1826, and continued with that branch until April 1833, when he was appointed by Lord
William Bentinck to the British detachment serving with the disciplined Troops of the Shah of Persia.
Lieutenant Todd accompanied the late Colonel Pasmore to Persia, and was employed on various duties,
Civil and Military, in different parts of that country, from 1833 to 1838, under Sir John Campbell, the
Right Hon'ble Henry Ellis, and Sir Henry Bethune, to the last mentioned of whom, he acted as Mili-
tary Secretary. In 1836 he was promoted, by his late Majesty William the Fourth, to the local rank
of Major in Persia, having the year previously received from the King of Persia the order of the Lion
and Sun. In 1838 Major Todd was appointed to officiate as Secretary of Her Britannic Majesty's
Ligation at the Court of Persia, and in that capacity accompanied his Excellency* Sir Jolin McNeill to
the Persian Camp before Herat ; from Herat he proceeded, in May 1838, to India, via Candahar,
Cabool, and the Punjaub, with despatches from Sir John McNeill to the Governor General, who was
then at Simlah. In October 1838, Major Todd was appointed Political Assistant and Military Secre-
tary to the Envoy and Minister proceeding with Shah Shooja to Cabool, and accompanied His Majesty
from Loodiana and Shikarpore.

Major Todd was afterwards employed as Political Agent with the Bombay division of the army of the
Indus on its march from Larkhana on the right bank of the river to Candahar. Shortly before the army
left Candahar, en route to Cabool, Major Todd was appointed Envoy to Herat, and proceeded with
several Engineer and Artillery officers and a supply of Treasure, to that city. The city of Herat which
had withstood a siege of nine months against an enemy of thirty thousand Perians was reduced to a
heap of ruins when Mahomed Shah retreated from before the place in Setember 1838. The Mission un-
der Major Todd reached Herat in July 1839 ; at this time there were not more than four or live thousand
inhabitants in the city, and these were principally the Military retainers of the King and Chiefs. Tu
bring back the people to their homes ; to give them the means of cultivating their fields ; to encourage
trade ; to conciliate the various chiefs dependant on the Grovemment of Herat ; and to establish an
useful influence in the country by every means in his power, were the principal duties on which Major
Todd was employed, and that his proceedings at Herat were met with the unqualified approbation of
his superiors.

Such is the outline sketch of the services of this officer, who afterwards fell at the battle of Feroz-
ahuhur, whilst commanding the 2d Troop 1st Brigade Horse Artillery.

A mural Tablet is placed to his memory in the Dam Dam Church ; the following is a copy of the
Inscription.

Sacred to the Memory of Captain &. D'Arey Todd, K. L. S.
who, after a zealous service in many responsible situations, fell at the battle of Ferozeshuhur,
on the 21st December, 1845, whilst commanding the 2d Troops Ist Brigade Horse Artillery,

aged 38 years.
In him the distinguished corps to which he belonged lost one of its brightest ornaments,
and the Church of Christ upon earth a devout and humble worshipper.
This Tablet is erected by his sorrowing relatives, by whom he was much loved,

as a slight tribute of affection.

BRIGADIER SIR ALEXANDER MACLEOD. KNT. C. B. (laie CommmuUmi ^f Artittery,)

Sir Alexander Macleod passed with credit and distinction through the yarious grades of an active
and long service, and formed a fine specimen of what is understood by those ezpresiiTe words, * The
gallant, zealous, and loyal British Veteran.' He arrived in India in 1783. and aenred with Lord
Comwallis on the coast, and was present at the first siege of Seringapatam. For a aeries of years he
was Adjutant of Battalion, a situation, for which, at an early period of hb career, he was excellently
qualifi^. From 1803 up to 1810. his name was associated with varions gallant Military enterprises
under Lord Lake and others. In 1814, he commanded the Artillery and siege details with Sir David
Ochterlony's division, in Nepal, against Ummeer Sing's army. In 1817, he served at Hattras, and
in 1818. he commanded the Artillery with General Dickson's Division daring the Bfahratta war.
In 1819-20. Sir Alexander Macleod succeeded to the command of the Artillery in the field, and in
1823. whilst Commandant of the Regiment, he closed the brilliant list of his active aerrices by sluuing,
conspicuously, in the glory of the celebrated siege of Bhurtpore.

Sir Alexander Macleod possessed, in no common degree, that plain mascnline ondentandipg, thoae
high principles, solid virtues, and unaffected, yet mild and unobtrusive manners which characteriie tiie
genuine Soldier. To say that the loss of such a man is deeply regretted by the corps to which he
more immediately belonged is only to state what has been anticipated by all who knew him. To the
Serrice at large as well as to many out of it. who enjoyed his friendship, the death of such a man is a
heavy loss. He was eminently generous and kind hearted, and his house and his pnrae were ever open
at the call of need or hospitality. He was. in the largest sense of the word, eharitaUe, not only as a
bountiful giver, but in that dignity of mind which is slow to think evil, and ready to forgive injury.
In every walk of life, indeed, he was truly amiable and estimable ; but it was only in the fHendly
circle that, owing to the singular modesty of his disposition, one could at all form an idea of the Tari-
ous reading and valuable information he could bring to bear upon a subject. These tndta however,
belong more to private life and we must not indulge our inclination to enter ftirther into them. To
conclude, then, as Commandant of Artillery, the lamented subject of this imperfiect sketdi united that
ability, firmness, experience, decision, and suavity, which made his authority practically eflUcient for
every purpose, and as much removed from harshness on the one hand, as vacillatioQ on the other.

The interment of the remains of this lamented highly respected and brave officer took place at Dam
Dum on the evening of the 20th of August 1831. and seldom have we witnessed a more impoeing or
effectual ceremony — ^he was buried with the Military honors due to his rank the body behig home to
the grave by parties of the Horse Artillery and accompanied by a numerous prooeaaion confisting of
the officers of the station and friends of the deceased from Calcutta, &c.

(A marble mural Monument is erected to his memory at the Chwreh at Dnm Dum, wkick fleen the
following Inscription : — J

Sacred to the Memory of Sir Alexander Macleod,

DUM DUM COLUMN.

who died at Dum Dam on the 20th Augaat 1831, aged 64 years.
Snr A. Macleod entered the Army as a Cadet of Artillery in 1784 and served with that army during

47 years of uninterrupted Indian duty. In 1806, he was selected by Viscount Lake (on the
death of Captain Uutchmson of the same corps) to succeed as Commandant of the then important
advanced post of Ramporah Tonk, and afterwards served at the sieges of Kamona,
Gunnouree and Bhowannee. In 1814, he directed the Artillery of Sir D. Ochterlony's Army,

during the brilliant campaign of the field movements and sieges against the Ghoorkah
Commander-m-Chief, Ummeer Sing Thapa. In 1817, after being present at the siege of Hattras,

he commanded the Artillery of Sir R. Donkin's, or right division of the grand Army
under the Marquess of Hastings in the Mahratta and Pmdaree war. In November 1823, he was
appointed Commandant of the Regiment of Artillery, in which capacity in 1825,
he accompanied Viscount Combermere to the field, and directed the Artillery in the great siege

operations which terminated in the assault and capture of Bhurtpore in January 1826.

Sir Alexander Macleod died in command of the Corps, honoured by his comrades as a gallant

Soldier, esteemed as a kind Commander, and beloved as a good man.

12th August 1819, to Colonel Commandant, 16th August 1822; and to Major-General, 22d July,
1830.

His first service was in the campaign against the Rajah Cheyt Sing, and he was present during the
siege and capture of the fortress of Bidzighur (Benares) in November 1781. He was employed with his
corps, in the year 1782, 3 and 4, in reducing the refractory Zemindars in Bogelcund and Bundlecund ;
and was present at the storm of the fort of Khytul, in March 1783, and at the siege and reduction of
Chowkundee, in May 1783. He marched from Futteghur in Dec. 1789, for the Coromandel coast,
with Colonel Cockerell's detachment ; served the whole of the campaign with the centre Army, and
was present with the grand army during the siege and storm of Bangalore, in March 1791. He was also
present in the general action against Tippoo's whole Army, 15th M^y 1791 ; at the siege, and of the
storming party, in the column commanded by Sir D. Baird, at Sevendroog, Decdmber 24th, 1791 ; and
of the party who stormed Tippoo*8 fortified Unes before Sertngapatam, 6th February. 1792. He served
the whole of Lord Comwallis' campaigns on the coast. He was in the battle of Cutterah, on the 23d
October 1794 ; and served from the commencement to the close of the campaign, against the Rohillas,
under Sir Robert Abercombie. He was at the siege and reduction of the forts of Sasnee and Beijighur
in the Doaub in January and February 1803, and at the siege and taking of Catchoura, by storm, in
March 1803, under Lord Lake ; in the action before Allyghur 29th Aug., and the capture of Allyghur,
by storm, 4th Sept. 1803 ; in the battle of Delhi, 11th Sept. 1803, (when the enemy was completely
defeated with the loss of all his guns) and had a charger killed under him. The regiment, the 2d Light
Cavalry, on this occasion received an honorary Standard. He also served at the siege and taking of
Agra, 18th October 1803 ; at the battle of Laswarree November 1st, 1803 (when he had a second charger
disabled under him by a cannon shot), at the battle of Deeg and taking of the whole of Holkar's guns,
13th November, 1804 ; at the siege and capture, by storm, of the fort of Deeg, December 23d, 1804 ;
at the siege and four assaults of Bhurtpoor, from January to April 1805 ; during the whole of Lord

attacks and skirmishes.

This officer commanded the 4th Cavalry Brigade attached to the reserve, coiisistin;; of the 2d Light,
Cavalry and Skinner's Horse (3000 strong) and was detached by Sir D. Ochterlony, in April 1817
with a Cavalry Brigade, 3 battalions of Infantry, and ten 6 pounders, to compel the Newaub Jumshere
Behaunder (son-in-law to Meer Khan, and his principal Sirdar) to give up his guns, which he refused
to do, though repeatedly demanded by Sir D. Ochterlony ; after three forced marches he overtook the
Newaub on the banks of the Sambur lake, with his Army of 10,000 men drawn up for action, and
took the whole of his artillery (44 guns with a proportion of tumbrils ) In June 1818 the subject of
this memoir was directed, by Sir David Ochterlony, to proceed against A j meer, and had with him six
battaliops of infantry, 2d Regt. of Light Cavalry, 2d and 3d regiments of Rampoor horse, and a suitable
battering train. The town and Fort, with 73 pieces of Cannon, surrendered to him in the course of
the same month, and his conduct was warmly extolled by the Commander-in-Chief. In March 1823,
he received orders from Sir D. Ochterlony, to proceed against the fort of Lamba in the Jevdoor
territory : after a fruitless negotiation of some days, in which it at length appeared evident^ that the
enemy were insincere in their promises of surrender and only anxious to gain time, the batteries were
opened on them, on the morning of the 17th March 1823, when after the short space of four hours
plapng, the garrison, consisting of 500 men, evacuated the fort in rapid flight, and this officer took
possession of it. He was subsequently removed from Rajpootana to the command of the Dinapore
Division of the Army, and having completed his tour on the Staff, he retired from active life to reside
at Barrackpore, and where he closed an honorable and distinguished career. For his services
the Major-General had been appointed a Knight Commandant of the Bath, on the 27th of
September 1831.

REVEREND WILLIAM CAREY, D. D.-^fTAe Father qf MMotu.J

Dr. Carejwasbom August 17th, 1761, at Pauler's Perry, in Northamptonshire. HJs mother
died when he was young. His father was Preceptor in the Established Church ht Panler's P te iiy .
Though imperfectly brought up in the tenets of the Christian religion, his mind was not directed to
the ^viour of the world by hia father, who was at that time, nnhappily, ignorant of the Savioar him-
self, but at the age of fifteien the subject of our memoir was apprenticed to a Shoe Bfaker in the
village of Paddington, (ten miles from Pauler's Perry,) and there, often held convenatioiis widi a feUow-
apprentice, named John Ward, which first led him to reflect closely on his state as a sinner before
God ; and his occasional access to the ministration of the Rev. Thomas Scott, author of the Commentary
on the Bible, and Pastor at Ravanstone, (a village a few miles distant,) tended greatly to increase hU
convictions of his fallen condition. At length he met with the excellent Mr. Hall's '* Hdp to Zion's
Travellers,'' which did more towards giving him just ideas of himself, as a sinner, and in pointing oat
the way of salvation than all that he had ever read or heard before, and encouraged him« finally, to
give himself up to the exclusive service of the Lord Jesus Christ. When he was about eighteen yean
old, left wholly to his own judgment, he thought he saw many things in the Established Chnrdi, in
which he had hitherto been brought up, that he could not reconcile with the scriptares ; and at length
a sermon which he heard from Heb. xiii. \3^** Let us therefore go forth without the Camp beaikig
his reproach," led him at once to forsake it and cast lot with a few poor people near him wbo were of
the Baptist denomination. Before he was twenty, a number of persons, in a village a feir miles dis-
tant, came to him one sabbath, and urged him, as they were that day destitute of a ministers to attend
and give an exhortation from the word of God. With much reluctance and fear he oompUed with
their desire, and they felt themselves so much instructed by his discourse from the scriptures liiat they
asked him again, and again, till in a year or two he consented to become the pastor of the small
Church at Moulton, where he continued, up to 1788, when he was prevailed upon to remove to
Leicester. In the interval, he became acquainted with the Rev. John (afterwards Dr.) Ryland, tiien
an assistant to his father in the Gospel ministry at Northampton, by whom he was soon after beptised :
and about the same time with the Rev. John Sutcliff of Olney, whose Church he joined, and the Rev.
Andrew Fuller of Kettering ; who was, also, his senior by about seven years. Poweiacd of kindred
minds these four pious men gradually framed a bond of union with one another, which was never inter*
rupted in this life, and which eternity itself will never dissolve. — With these, with Mr. Thomas Seott,
and with the Rev. Robert Hall of Arnsby, father of the late Robert Hall of Bristol, the antiior of
*' Help to Zion's, travellers" (whom he esteemed above all the rest as a minister,) Carey spent the first
ten years of his Christian life to his unspeakable advantage. His desire for the salvation of tlie
heathen appears to have spnmg up in his own mind, without any foj*tering from without ; for, as soon
as that work appeared, he read Cook's voyages, and the state of the Islanders in the South Seas, deeply
impressing his mind, he was led into a train of thought which ended in the full conviction that it was
a duty binding on Christians now, as well as in the Apostles' days, to carry the Gospel to the K^thft
in every part of the world. This conviction aflected him so strongly that it became at length irrepres-
sible, and he constantly conversed on the subject with such of his friends as appeared moat eminent for
£>pirituality of mind. Being one day at Birmingham about the year 1785, he mentioned his views to a
few friends there ; upon which one of them said, " If you will write your thoughts on this subgect, I

REVEREND WILLIAM CAREY, D. D. 535

will be at the expense of bringing them through the press." Animated with this promise, Carey replied,
" That if he could not prevail on some one else to undertake it he would attempt it himself." ** Well,"
said his friend, ** remember that I have your pledge from which you cannot recede." On returning
home, Carey mentioned the subject to his friends Fuller and Ryland, urging them to undertake the task ;
they respectively excused themselves and advised him to begin writing without delay, but not to print
his thoughts immediately. It is probable, however, that he did this, for we find it said in the Periodi-
cal Accounts, that he wrote the article on missions as early as 1786. The Missionary feeling however
appeared to gather strength in the minds of his three friends Fuller, Sutcliff, and Ryland, with whom
originated those monthly prayer-meetings for the spread of the Gospel, both at home and abroad, which
gradually spread wider and wider among the worshippers of the Saviour, till at length they now fill
nearly the whole of the Christian world. — Two sermons were at length preached at a meeting of minis-
ters at Clipstone, in April 1791. — One on ''Jealousy for the Lord of Hosts," by Mr. Sutcliff, from
1st Kings, xix. 10, and another on the " Pernicious influence of delay in Religious concerns," by Mr.
Fuller, from Haggai, i. 2. After these services Mr. Carey proposed it as a question for the minis-
ters to discuss, '* whether it be not practicable, and our bounden duty, to attempt something towards
spreading the Gospel in the heathen world, and as the public services which included these two ser-
mons had been attended with unusual solemnity, this question was managed by these ministers with
earnest concern relative to exerting themselves for the enlargement of the Saviour's kingdom. — The
chief step then taken, however, was their unanimously agreeing to request that Mr. Carey would publish
his thoughts on the subject of Missions, which had laid by him for more then five years. — These issued
from the press in the beginning of 1792, and in the words of Fuller, " the author generously proposed to
devote whatever profits might arise from this publication to the use of a Missionary Society," whenever
it should be formed. — This pamphlet, contains a short review of former undertakings for the conver-
sion of the heathen, commencing with apostolic times, and continuing the survey to the attempts of
Ziegenbalg and Groundler in 1707. — ^The review concludes with the following observations respecting
the Moravian Missions : — " But none of the moderns have equalled the Moravian brethren in this good
work ; they have sent Missions to Greenland, Labrador, and several of the West India Islands, which
have been blessed for good. — They have likewise sent to Abyssinia in Africa." A brief but luminous
survey of the present religious state of the world follows ; and then, a section showing the practicability
of something being done more than what is at present done for the conversion of the heathen. — To the
whole, is added an inquiry into the duty of Christians in general on this subject, and what means ought
to be used in order to promote the work. — It is altogether one of the most clear, concise and heart-stir-
ring essays on Missions that was ever published. — At the annual Association of the Baptist Churches
held at Northampton, May the 31st, 1792, Mr. Fuller says, brother Carey preached a very animating
discourse from Isaiah, liv. 2, " Enlarge the place of thy Tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains
of thy habitations, spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen they stakes;" in which he pressed
two things in particular, as expository of lengthening our cords and strengthening our stakes ; that we
should expect great things ; and that we should attempt great things. This sermon so afifected the
audience, that before the ministers parted, a resolution was passed that a plan should be prepared
against the next minister's meeting to be held at Kettering, for forming a Society in the Baptist deno-
mination for propagating the Gospel among the heathen. This meeting^was held at Kettering, October
the 2nd, 1792, — but the whole day passed away without any efibrt being made to form a Missionary
Society, or even to bring the subject prominently forward. — At length, Carey grieved to the soul, took
Fuller aside, and sharply remonstrating with him on his permitting the day thus to pass away without
attempting any thing, begged him, if he intended to do nothing toward forming a Missionary
Society, at once to say so, and not keep him any longer in suspense. Greatly moved by this. Fuller
instantly called into Mr. Wallis' parlour, as many of the ministers as then remained, and with eleven
beside himself and Carey, gave existence to the Baptist Mitnonary Society. The fund then sub-
scribed to commence this holy undertaking, amounted to thirteen pounds, two shillings, and six pence.
Thus after full nine years of anxious thought and exertion, had Carey the satisfaction of seeing a
Society formed, with the express purpose of sending the Gospel to the heathen. In reviewing his
conversion to God, it is impossible to avoid the conclusion that he was indebted to Divine grace for a
change of heart so thorough and lasting ; in contemplating his being called to the ministry before he
was twenty, and so greatly blessed therein, can we ascribe the fact to any thing less than the grace of
God constraining him to declare to others what he himself had felt and handled of the word of life ?
since nothuig less than Divine grace could have implanted in his mind that earnest desire after the
salvation of the heathen, which lived and flourished amidst all the coldness of his brethren on the
subject, until every obstacle being surmounted, he beheld a Missionary Society, formed among his
dearest friends, which, small as it then appeared, was the forerunner of the London, the Church, and
the Scottish Societies ; and of all which have been subsequently formed in America ; as well as on the
continent of Europe. Surely the grace which was thus given to Carey, was not in vain ; and the title
of the father of Missions, so justly awarded to him, demanded on his part the deepest gratitude to
the Father of mercies and the Redeemer of men. It has been seen, that when Carey and his colleagues
formed a Missionary Society, consisting of twelve persons beside himself, they had no specific object
in view ! That it was their duty to exert themselves for the conversion of the heatheU; they felt with
irresistible force ; but to which part of the /owr hundred millions, whom Carey in his pamphlet had
represented as not having yet heard the Gospel, they should turn their attention, they knew not. The
Islands of the South Seas had at first attracted his attention ; but it is now evident to us, that had he
chosen that part of the world for his labours, the peculiar talent with which God had intrusted him,
that of fitness to translate the sacred oracles, would have been almost buried — circumstances have
since shown that India presented almost the only field in which this talent could be fully employed.
Perhaps some may ask, what fitness he could possess for acquiring languages, who had been trained
up in such an humble sphere of life till the age of thirty-two, without even tasting those literary

336 REVEREND WILLIAM CAREY, D. D.

advantages enjoyed so fully by the Missionaries and Clergymen who now come forth to India ? That
his brethren deemed him possessed of such fitness, however, is evident from the language of Puller in
his ** Narrative of the first Et^tablishment of the Baptist Society/' wliich he ascribed to the workings
of his brother Carey's mind for tlie preceding nine or ten years, in which he observes that hia con-
versations, ))rayers, and sermons, were mostly accompanied with something relative to thia rabject ;
and adds : — " He ]>ossessed at the same time a great thirst for Geographical knowledge, and a remark-
able aptitude at learning languages ; so tliat his most intimate friends were, for several years past,
induced to think that he was formed for some such peculiar undertaking, that he should have acquired
a kiiowledge of the learned languages, while labouring with his hands to supply the wanta of an
increasing family, or faithfully discharging his ministry among an affectionate people, in a Church,
(then at Leicester,) the number of which the Saviour, by his blessing on his pastoral laboura, was
pleased to double, in the four years he ministered to them, will appear singular to many/' So fully
capable was he of going forward alone, in the study of a language when once placed in the proper
course, that he could be at no loss, after his acquaintance with Mr. Sutcliff and Dr. Ryland, both suffi-
ciently familiar with Classical and Hebrew literature, and who as they found him so much more ready
than themselves in acquiring languages, would compassionate his want of leisure, amidst the labours
of his calling and the cares of a family, and naturally give him the best instructions in their power.
It was in these later four years of pastoral labour that he gave a proof of his power of acquiring a
language, which filled Fuller, Sutcliff, and Ryland, with surprize. In their theological reaearclwa,
(their diligence in prosecuting which will sufficiently appear, if we recollect, that Fuller, about this
time, published his various writings on Faith,) it was found desirable to have recourse to certain Dutch
divines. How to do this was the difficulty ; they were not found in an English dress, and neither
Fuller, Sutcliff, nor llylond, were willing to undertake the labour of learning Dutd^ merely to obtain
this object. Carey, understanding the case, however, instantly sat down to the language of Holland,
as he had to that of Rome, Greece, and Palestine, and in about three months, presented tfaem, to
their astonishment, with a translation of the author they so much desired to peruse. It ia manifest
therefore, although he as yet knew it not, that Providence was training him up with a view to hia giving
the word of God in the classic language of India, and its kindred and multifsrious dialeeta. As yet,
India was quite out of the thoughts of both Carey and his colleagues. Within a few months after
their embryo Missionary Society was formed, Providence brought it before them. John Thomas,
formerly Surgeon of the '* Oxford" Indiamon, had gone out to India in his Medical capacity, as early as
17S3. On his arrival in Calcutta, he who had been brought to the knowledge of the Saviour about two
years previously, sought for religious people there ; but finding none, at length put the fbllowing
advertisement in the India Gazette of November 1st, 17B3 :—

'' Religious Society."

** A plan is now forming for the more effectually spreading the knowledge of Jerai and hb glorious
gospel in and about Bengal ; any serious persons of any denomination, rich or poor, high or low,
who would heartily ap))rove of, join in, or gladly forward such an undertaking, are hereby invited to
give a small testimony of their inclination, that they may enjoy the satisfaction of forming a communion,
the most useful, the most comfortable, and the most exalted in the world. Direct for A. B. C. to be
left with the Editor." To this the following answer was received the next day : ** If A. B. C. will
open a subscription for a translation of the New Testament into the Persian and Mooriah languages,
(under the direction of proper persons) he will meet with every assistance he can deaire, and a oom-
])etent number of subscribers to defray the expence." Who the writer of this note waa Mr. Thomia
was never able to discover ; but he was able to do no more in that voy^e, although on his aeoond,
to Bengal, in 178G, in the same capacity, he found three or four Christian friends connaeted wilii the
family of the late Cliarles Grant, £sq. wlio had not then left India ; by these, and afterwards fay Mr.
Grant himself, he was received in the kindest manner ; and on Mr. Grant's removing from Malda to
Calcutta, Mr. Thomas preached in his house every Sunday evening. Soon after, a friend gave him to
understand that Mr. Grant wished him to stay in the country, to learn the language, and preach the
Gos]>el to the Hindoos. To this he felt averae at first, but after '* much prayer, and many taara/' to
use his own expression, he gave himself up to this work, and God removed difficultiei out of the way,
and encouraged him by adding two seals to his first labours, in the conversion of two Europeans,
previously complete deists. He now began to translate the scriptures into Bengalee, and actually
finished Mattltew, and circulated it in manuscript ; for respecting it he says in his letter to Bftr. Fnller,
'* There are several Brahmins who have the book of Matthew in their hands, who read it in their
families and among their friends, whom, I have never seen." At the end o^ 1791, Mr. Thomas
returned to Britain, witli the hope of obtaining help in this good work, both aa to men and money.
Tliis, coming to the ears of Carey and his friends, they requested Mr. Fuller to write to Mr. Thomaa,
and in reply to the recjuest a letter was written (from which these particulara are extracted) fully
acquiescing in their Missionary plans. The infant Missionary Society deemed this a call to Bengal :
and the inquiry now was, who will go to India with Mr. Thomas ? No one of Carey's friends oflbrcd;
but on the question being put to him, (now in his thirty-second year, with a wife, and three children,
and Mrs. Carey ready to be confined with a fourth,) heat once answered, " Fcf .•" and aa hia wife
was so near the time of her confinement, he made up his mind to take only his eldest aon with Kim ,
and to leave the rest of his family till Providence should open the way for their following. It waa on
1st of April 1793, that he parted from his beloved flock at Leicest

the 1st of April 1793, that he parted from his beloved flock at Leicester, with this
intending to come out in an English vessel. But through the mysterious ways of Proridenoe.
however, he and Mr. Thomas were disappointed in this particular, after having been a fortnight on
board : and they were ultimately obliged to Uke their passage in a Danish Ship, then about to sail
from the Downs. These circumstances occasioned a deby of uearty two mouths, iu which period

REVEREND WILLIAM CAREY, D. D. S37

Mrs. Carej, who had been confiQed of her fourth son, Jabez, having fully recovered, agreed to go to
India with her husband, on the condition that her sister should accompany her. This being at once ac-
ceded to, Mr. Thomas, together with Mr. Carey, his four sons, Mrs. Carey and her sister, embarked June
12th, 1793, on the Danish Ship *' Cron Princessa Marie'' and arrived in India Nov. the 12th, after a
Toyage of five months. On their arrival, (as no particular part of India had been assigned for their
labours by their brethren at home,) they remained two or three months in Calcutta and its neighbour.
hood. The salary appointed for the two brethren, sufficiently shows how unable Fuller and his other
friends at home were to judge relative to the support of a Missionary in India, and how necessary it
was that they should do something for their own support. With the strongest affection for them,
they resolved that " the salary of Messrs. Thomas and Carey shall for the first year be the sum of
;^150, divided between them on their arrival, and that they shall draw this sum annually for their
support." Thus Carey had seventy -five pounds annually : or, as the Rupee was then two and six
pence, 600 Rupees, that is, fifty Rupees monthly ^ to support himself, Mr.^. Carey, her sister and four
sons ; and even the second year, when his brethren at home had in love, added to this sum i^20 annually,
because of his large family, the whole amounted to the monthly allowance of sixty-five Rupees, It is
no wonder, that he found it impossible to live on this pittance in Calcutta, where even a wretched
house could scarcely be obtained for a montly rent equal to the whole amount of his salary. In
consequence, he, within four months, left Calcutta, and took a small portion of land at Deharta, a
place about forty miles distant, towards Jessore, with the determination to subsist his family by
cultivating land with his own hands, thinking it as easy to support them by agriculture in Bengal,
as in Britain. Providence, however, graciously prevented the distress in which this agricultural
enterprize must have terminated, by bringing before him, the very next month, an offer from Mr.
Udny, then residing at Maldah, to superintend an Indigo Factory at Mudnabatty, on a monthly salary
of 200 Rupees ; with which offer, as Mr. Thomas had accepted a similar one, Mr. Carey closed, with
deep gratitude to his Heavenly Father, for thus graciously supplying his wants in a strange land. To
Maldah, he at once removed, and in June, he went to Mudnabatty, (about midway between Maldah
and Dinagepore) where Mr. Carey resided until December 1799, and being soon able to converse in
Bengalee, he made known the Gospel to all around him and within his reach. It is, however, our
chief object to trace his progress in translating the Scriptures. In this work the ardour of his mind
carried him forward in a degree scarcely credible. In his journal, sent home to his friends Fuller,
Satcliff, and Ryland, we find the following entry : — " January 27th, 1794. This day finished the cor-
rection of the first chapter of Genesis, which my Moonshee says is rendered into very good Bengalee ;
just as we finished it, a Pundit, and another man from Nuddea, came to see me. I shewed it to them,
and the Pundit seemed much pleased with the account of the creation ; oidy they have an imaginary
place somewhere beneath the earth, (Patala,) which he thought should have been mentioned likewise ;
I observed that the earth was a planet, and that the heavens and the earth included all the material
creation." Within a year after he settled at Mudnabatty, he began the study of the Sanscrit language.
In his course of translating, he found it necessary to examine into the original meaning of the words
he used, and these being, in many instances compound words, he felt it necessary to ascertain the
meaning of their primitive elements, as, without this, he scarcely felt himself safe in the use of words
in a language so little known to him. This course led him at once to the Sanscrit language, from
which at least five-sixths of the pure Bengalee tongue is derived : and determined him, at the age of
tiiirty-four, to attempt the study, encompassed as it was with difficulty. India had never seen typo-
graphy applied to her own indigenous characters, till about twelve years before the arrival of Carey
and Thomas, she was indebted for its existence to the ingenuity and unceasing efforts of Lieut.
Wilkins, then a young man in the Bengal Army, and now, the justly celebrated Dr. Wilkins,
the author of our best Sanscrit Grammar, and Librarian to the Hon'ble East India Company. Tlie
attachment of this young man to Indian literature is testified both by Sir Wm. Jones and by Nathaniel
Brasaey Halhed, Esq., the author of the first and the most elegant Grammar of the Bengalee language
which has yet appeared. This was printed at Hoogly, in 1784, with the first complete fount of Bengalee
types fabricated by Lt. Wilkins, and respecting which, Mr. Halhed, then in the Civil Service, testifies in
lus preface, that in preparing it, Lieut. Wilkins performed all the various operations of the type-founder,
from cutting the punches with his own hand, to bringing them complete from the foundery. To
mention how deeply Mr. Thomas interested himself in the work both of translating and printing the
Scriptures, is only an act of justice to his memery. It has been already seen in what manner he began
by translating Matthew, and circulating it in manuscript as early as 1788, and in a letter, dated
Calcutta, January 4th, 1794, not two months after his landing, he says, " I am pursuing my Sanscrit
studies, and keep a Pundit ; brother Carey pays a Moonshee twenty Rupees per month, which takes
almost half his income. I should be very happy to see a Bible in any degree of forwardness before I
die, and have been talking with a printer to-day, in whose hands are the Bengalee types which are used
here, on the expence of such a work." In one dated August the 4th, 1794, Carey says, " I now inform
you brethren, that I can subsist without any further assistance from you. At the same time I sincerely
thank you for the exertions you have made, and hope that what was intended to supply my wants may
be appropriated to some other mission. It will be my glory and joy nevertheless, to stand in the same
near relation to you, and to maintain the same correspondence with you, as if I needed your supplies."
Another plan which Carey then formed for doing good to India at his own charge, was the following :
'* Mr. Thomas and 1, between whom the utmost harmony prevails, have formed a plan for erecting two
Colleges, (Chowparries, Bengalee,) one here, and the other at the place of our residence ; in each of which
we intend to educate twelve lads, six Musoolmans and six Hindoos ; a Pundit is to have the charge of
them ; and they are to be taught the Sanscrit, Bengalee, and Persian lan^ages. The Bible is to be intro-
duced there, and perhaps a little Philosophy and Greography. The time for education is to be seven years ;
and we are to provide them with meat, clothing, and lodging, as well as instruction. We are now
inquiring for children proper for the purpose. It will be requisite for the Society to send w a printing

prcsA from England ; and if our Uvea are spared, we will repay them. We can engage native printen
to perforin the press and compositors* work." Tliua the comprchcnsiTe mind of Carey, while intent on
printing the S<Tiptares planned in the very first year on his entering on his Missionary work that
institution for Native Instruction which after the lapse of thirty years he lired to see realized in
Serampore College. It is satisfac^tory to find that Fuller, Sutcliff, and Ryland, with their associates at
home, fully responded to their brethren in India in generosity of feeling ; as will appear in the follow,
ing extract from a public letter, written by Fuller, September the IGtih, 1795 : — ** It affords as great
satisfaction that you have conceived a design of laying out your money in such works as establishing
schools and translating the Bible. Tlie latter however will be a great undertaking, and when it is proptr
to print it, you must not, even if you can afford it, deny us the pleasure of participating with yon in
the expence. The public is generous, and what shall we do with our money, but appropriate it to
the service of our God ?" He at the same time informed them that ** they had already resolved upon
a Mission to Africa, and were that day met at Birmingham to take leave of the brethren, Gr%g and
Rodway, about to soil for Sierra Leone." It is evident however, that they soon became perplexed
about printing; for while in a letter to Mr. Fuller, dated August the 8th, 1795, Mr. Thomas says,
'* We intend to print and send abroad Genesis, Matthew, and Mark, this year, at our j(nnt expence,*'
in one to Mr. Pearce, dated October 2d, Carey says : — '* The translation of the Bible is going on, and it
is to mc a very pleasant work. Genesis, Exodus, Matthew, Mark, and part of John and Jamea, may
be reckoned rvady for the press ; printing is uncommonly expensive here ; and if tjrpea could be got
from England, there are natives who can do the business of compositors and pressmen ; and this
would be the cheapest way. Mr. Thomas has a set of letters fit for types to be formed by, written
for that purpose by a native, who writes an excellent hand. I will persuade him to enclose tiiem to
the Society this season. We intended to have printed at our own expence, but at present are not
able.*' In another letter to Fuller, dated November 16th, 179G, Carey says : ** I expect the New
Testament will be complete before you receive this, except a very few words which may want altering
on a third and fourth revisal, and now I wish the printing to be thought of. It will be at least two
years from this time, before communications respecting printing will arrive from England, by which
time every correction may certainly be made. We were in hopes of printing it at our own expence ;
but in that we are disappointed. Were it printed here, 10,000 copies would cost at the nearest calea-
lation, 43,750 ni])ees, an enormous sum. But it may be done much cheaper, by sending out a print-
infc press, with types, &c. and if a serious printer could be found, who was willing to engage in the
Mission, he would be a great blessing to us in superintending the work ; for the nativea would do the
laborious part." On this plan Fuller and his associates appear to have proceeded without delay, lliey
immediately began to correspond with Mr. William Ward, who had been brought up to printing
under Benson in London, and recently called to the Ministry by the Baptist Church in George Street*
Hull, of which he was a member. He was then twenty-eight, and was studying under Dr. Fawoett»
at Ewood Hall, in Yorkshire. In October 1798, Mr. Fuller and his associates engagod him as a
Missionary to Ben^^al ; upon this Mr. Ward wrote immediately to Carey, informing him of his having
engaged in the work ; and what must have been tlie surprize and the gratitude of Carey to the God of
all mercy, when this letter told him, that the young man he saw in London and to whom he then said»
** I am going out to India to translate the Scriptures, and you must follow afker to print them ;" was
now coming out with this express view, and with the determination to be his helper in the work of the
Alission to his life's end. Mr. Ward arrived in India, October the 13th, 1799, with his ooUa^ues»
Emanuel Bmnsdon, Wm. Grant, and Joshua Marshman, with their respective families. Mr. Gtaintt
died of a fever eighteen days after they landed, and Mr. Brunsdon of a liver complaint about twenty
months afterwards. In about the same space too, Mr. Fountain died at Dinagepore, and Mr. Thomas
at Sadamahl, which left only Carey, Ward, and Marshman, of the seven Missionary brethren. When
Mr. Ward had arrived from England with the printing apparatus, Bengalee types were atill wantingt
which Providence was pleased to supply in a way quite unexpected. About two months after Carey's
arrival at Serampore, with Mrs. Carey and his four sons, a native* named Punchanan, who had been
instructed in cutting punches by Lieut. Wilkins and had wrought at the same bench wid& him in
cutting the Bengalee fount of t^pes, applied for employment, offering to cut a fount at a rupee four
annas each letter. Filled with gpratitude to God for on occurrence so unexpected, the brethren instantly
retained him, and a fount of Bengalee types was gradually created for about 700 rupees, "TTtfftd of
j^540 sterling, (the price they would have cost in cutting at home.) llw New Testament was then
brought through the press within eleven months, Carey having taken an impression of the first paget
March the 18th, 1800, and the last page being printed February the 10th, 1801. With the OhI iMa.
ment he proceeded, at press, without delay ; uid finding, after he had occupied himself in translatiiig
so many years, that by far the greater part of the words in other dialects around him« wen derived
from the same source, (the Sanscrit language,) and were precisely the same in meaning and import,
the translation of the New Testament into some of these, appeared quite widiin reach. Uia being
appointed in May 1801, to Fort William College, gave him the command of the first Sanscrit Pundits
in India, retained as they were for the College, and increased his knowledge of both tiie Sanacrit and
Bengalee language, (in which he constantly gave lectures) to a degree he could scarcely have obtained
in other way. Meanwhile pundits continually applied to him from various eountries in India, who

* 'J1iis man, though he lived only 3 or 4 years, instructed in his art a family at Serampore, and thus the
knowledge of ty))e cutting has remained at Serampore everaJDce. And as a new fount of types in any
larif^apre could be obtained for sq small a sum, J>r. Carey, before his death, had the satisfisction of seeing
founts of typcsprepared at Serampore in the I)evu Nagree, the Kytee. or Bazar Nagree, the Pni^abi, the
Cashmeer, and tiie Multanee characters on the West of India j the Mahratta, the Oriasa,the Telinga, the
Tamul,and the Cimralcse, on the South ; the Thibet and Assamese on the North- East, and the fianneie
and Chinese on the Kast j together with founts iu iht; Persian^ the ArmeniaD^ and other Oriental ohmBtcis.

REVEREND WILLIAM CAREY, D. D. 339

could convorae with ease in Bengalee or Hindoostanee, as well as in Sanscrit ; this gave him an oppor-
tiinity <^ closely examining their remacnlar dialects ; which led to his almost immediately beginning
the study of the Mahratta and the Orissa, and a few months after, to a translation of the New Testa-
ment in those languages. He afterwards did the same with the Sikh or Panjabee, the Bulochee and
other dialects on Uie West ; the Telinga, the Kurnata, and the Konkun on the South, and the Assam-
ese, the Khassee, and the Munipooree on the North-East, so that, (with his brethren's help,) he had
the satisfaction, before his death of seeing the whole of the sacred scriptures translated and printed
in seven of the Extern languages, including the Chinese ; and the New Testament CDmpleted in
twenty-one others of the languages and dialects of India, and the surrounding countries. In his labours
as a Missionary, he greatly abounded, in the younger part of his life, before he was closely engaged in
the work of translating the scriptures. But although it was impossible to continue these in the same
degree in his old age, especially when his hands were so full of other work, no less important to the
canse of Christianity, he never lost his Missionary spirit. On the contrary, he constantly mourned
that he could do no more, personally, in a work which had filled his whole heart from his youth ; and
the Missionary cause was never forgotten in his prayers, either public or private. In addition to the
evening monthly prayer meetings, for the revival and progress of true religion throughout the earth,
constantly held at Serampore, he for thirty-three years held a weekly meeting for prayer with his bre-
thren, in the Mission Chapel from 7 to 8 in the morning, with a view to the spread of the Gospel in
India — and the blessing of God, granted on the Missionary labours of those helpers, united with him
European, East Indian and Native (for with him there was no difference beside that created by the grace
of God,) was such as to excite the deepest gratitude. In April 1800, Serampore was the only Mis-
saonary station, in this part of India, as Mudnabutty had been unavoidably given up : and this con-
tained a small Church of eleven Members, of which he was then chosen pastor. Ttiis one Missionary
station with a small Church, Dr. Carey lived to see increased to eighteen Missionary stations in his
own immediate connection in Bengal, Hindoostan, Assam, and Arracan : and beheld twenty-six Gospel
Churches raised in them, each on the average containing nearly double the number of members wliich
that one in Serampore contained in 1800, and these stations and Churches occupied by nearly thirty
MUsionary labourers, all, with the exception of six Missionary brethren, from Europe, raised up by
Divine goodness in India itself. In addition, to this he beheld eleven Missionary stations more, con-
taining as many Churches of the same faith and order, and no less then twenty-five Missionary sta-
tions formed by other denominations of Christians, on the prosperity of which hs felt scarcely less
interested than in the thirty in his own denomination. Surely when the venerable Carey looked back
*'on all the way the Lord his God had led him, these forty years" in Bengal, and recollected how
India was brought before him as the scene of his future labour, — how the wants of himself and his
family were supplied, when his brethren at home could not help him — how his mind was kept steady
to his work amidst every discouragement — how the way was opened for printing the scriptures beyond
his highest expectations, — and afterwards for his extending so widely the work of translation — and
how the grace of God had been poured out in the increase of Missionary stations in this part of
India alone.

Before we come to the close of tins good and great man's memoir, we will here briefly advert to the
deep interest he constantly felt in the welfare and happiness of the natives in a temporal point of view ;
to his labourini; with the Government till he procured from the Marquess of Wellesley the abolition of
the horrid cruelties practised at Saugur Island, by the natives devoting their offspring to death there \
to hia incessant labours in exposing the abominations of the Suttee, which he had the happiness at
length to see abolished by Lord Wte. Bentinck, to his cultivation of science, particularly that of
Botany, which he enriched with various discoveries of his own, he could not but feel that the grace
of God had kept him alive in his work even to the end. What must have been the feelings on a
death-bed of a man who had lived wholly to himself compared with the joyous tranquillity which
filled Carey's soul in the prospect of entering into the joy of his Lord, and above all with what he felt
when, a few days before his decease he said to his companion in labour for thirty-five years, '* I have
no fears ; 1 have no doubts ; I have not a wish left unsatisfied."

The following proceedings relative to Dr. Carey, which took place at a Meeting of the Asiatic
Society, held June 2d, 1834, The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Calcutta, Vice-President, being in
the chair. His Lordship addressed the meeting as follows :—

** It had been su<^gested to him that the death of the Rev. Dr. Carey, one of the oldest and warmest
supporters of the Asiatic Society, was an occasion which called for some testimonial of the sense
entertained by all its members, of the value of his services to the literature and science of India, and
of their sincere respect for his memory."

** He had himsclt' enjoyed but two short interviews with that eminent and good man ; but a note
from Dr. Wallich, who was prevented himself from attending to propose the resolution, supplied hia
own want of information. Dr. Carey had been 28 years a member of the Society : and (with the
exception of the last year or two of his life, when protracted illness forced him to relinquish his
Calcutta duties) a regular attendant at its meetings, and an indefatigable and zealous member of the
Committee of Papers since the year 1807."

** He had enriched the Society's publications with several contributions : an interesting report on
the agriculture of Dinajpore, ajtpeared in the tenth volume of the Researches. An account of the funeral
ceremonies of a Burman priest in the twelfth : the Catalogue of Indian medicinal plants and drugs in
the eleventh volume, bearing Dr. Fleming's name, was also known to have been principally derived
from his information and research. As an ardent Botanist, indeed, he had done much for the scienee
of India, and one of the last works upon which he had been engaged, was the publication as Editor,
of his deceased friend, Dr. Roxburgh's Flora Indica."

" Uis Bencralee, Mahratta, Telinga, and Punjabi Dictionaries and Grammars, his translation of a
portion of the llamayana and other wotks, were on our shelves, to testify the extent of his learning as

an oriental scholar. It was well known that he had prepared some time ago an elaborate Dictioiiary of
the Sunscrit language, the nuinuscript of which, and a considerable portion of the work already printed
off, the result of many years intense labour and study, had been destroyed by the fire which burnt down
the Serampore premises. He had also been of great assistance, as the author teatified, in the editing
of Baboo Ram Comal Sen's Anglo-Bongalee Dictionary."

'* The memory of those meml^rs, who had been longer associated with him than himself, would eaaily
fill up this very imperfect estimate of his various services.*'

** During forty years of a laborious aud useful life in India, dedicated to the highest objects which
can engage the mind— indefatigable in his sacred vocation, active in benevolence, yet finding time to
master the languages and the learning of the East and to be the founder, as it were, of printing in thes
languages ; he contributed by his researches and his publications, to exalt and promote the objects for
which the Asiatic Society was instituted. The close of his venerable career should not therefore pass
without a suitable record of the worth and esteem in which his memory was held ; and his Liordahip
begged to move that the following minute be entered on the journaUi of the Society : — It was seconded
by Colonel Sir Jer. Bryant, and carried unanimously : —

** The Asiatic Society caimot note upon their proceedings the death of the late William Carey, D. D.

botany of tliis country, and his useful contributions in every branch towards the promotion of the
objects of the Society, without placing on record this expression of their high sense of his value and
merits as a scholar, and a man of science, their esteem for the sterling and surpassing religions and
moral excellencies of his character ; and their sincere grief for his irreparable loss."

THE REVEREND JOSHUA MARSHMAN, D. D.

Dr. Marshman was born of humble parentage in the village of Westbnry Leigh, in Wiltshire on tibe
20th of April 1768. Of his family little is known, except that they traced their descent from an officer
in the Army of Cromwell ; one of that band who, at the Restoration, relinquished, for consdenoe sake,
all views of worldly aggrandisement, and retired into the country to support themselves by their own
industry.

His father, a man of strong mind, undaunted intrepidity and inflexible integrity, passed the eariy
part of his life at sea; and was engaged in the *^ Hind** Sloop of War, commanded by 0«p*T?q
Bond, at the Capture of Quebec, — the action in which the gallant Wolf fell ; bat shortly afler he return-
ed to England, determining to settle among the humble and honest manufiusturera of his native coon-
try, and taking up his residence in Westbury Leigh, he married and turned his attention to the
Weaving trade. Hence he was subsequently unable to afford his son any education beyond what his
native village supplied, except in his own Christian principles ; but he lived to see the principles he
had instilled, ripen into tlie most enlarged and active benevolence.

Dr. Marshman from a very early age, exhibited so extraordinary a thirst for knowledge, as to con-
vince his family and friends that he was destined for something higher than the loom. At the age of
eight, he first began a course of desultory reading, snatching every moment from labour, and play, to
devote to his books ; so that between the age of ten and eighteen, he had devoured the contents of more
than five hundred volumes. Thus at an early period he was enabled to lay in a vast store of know-
ledge, which, improved by subsequent study, made his conversation both rich and instructive. After
reading through all the volumes so humble a village could furnish, he extended his researches to a
greater distance, and often travelled a dozen miles to borrow a book. Having no one to direct his
pursuits, he read prom iscuously whatever fell in his way, and with the utmost avidity. But it was to
Biography, and more particularly to History, that the bent of his mind was directed ; so much so, indeed,
that when his parents, on the death of an elder brother, endeavoured to direct his thoughts to the joys
of Heaven, he declared that he felt no disinclination to contemplate them, prorided there was room to
believe that the reading of History would not be incompatible with the pursuits of that blessed region.
At the age of twelve, the Clergyman of his own parish meeting him one day with a hotik, in hia
pocket, too large for concealment, asked him several questions, and among the rest, tlie names of the
Kings of Israel from the beginning to the Babylonish captivity, and being struck with tlie aoeoncy of
hia replies desired him to cull at his house, in future, for any book he might wish to resd. On hb
reaching tlie house, the Clergyman begged he would tell him whom he thought the best preachflr ;— Hihe
Dissenting Minister of the Town or himself, with the certainty on the one hand that the first named ex-
celled, and the fear on the otiier of losing the promisetl treat, he hesitated for a moment. But deter-
mining not to purchust; even this treat at the expense of truth, he begged to be allowed to refer him to
the answer of Melville, who, when asked by Queen Elizabeth whether she or her Royal Mistress of
Scotland exc.^lled in b(*auty, replied that each was handsomest in her own kingdom, and desired him to
accept that as his answer. At the age of fifiecn his father sent him up to London to Mr. Cetor, the
bookseller in the Strand, in the hope that some path would open for his obtaining a livelihood in a
sphere more congenial with his tastes tiian a wc aver's cottage. Here he was employed on errands ;
but at every interval of leisure, he availed himself of the new facilities he enjoyed for reading. His life
in the shop was not of the most agreeablt> description ; and it was considerably embittered by the
pros])ect of being condemned to a life of such unintcUectuul drudgery. On one occasion, having been
sent to the Duke of Grafton with three folio volumes of Clarendon's History and several other books.

REVEREND JOSHUA MARSHMAN, D. D. 341

he was quite overcome with fati^e and despondency, at the tasks to which he was subject, and walking
into Westminster Hall laid down his load and began to weep. But the bitterness of his feelings soon
passed off ; the associations of the place with which his reading had made him familiar, crowded into his
mind, and appeared to fill him with new energy ; and he determined, as he had often told, in however
homble a situation he might be placed, to continue storing his mind with knowledge, till the fitting
opportunity should come round for his emancipation. He returned to the country between the age oi
sixteen and seventeen, and resumed his manual occupations, still continuing to indulge his irrepressible
thirst for reading. He now turned his attention to divinity, and made himself familiar with the works
of all the most celebrated Divines, without distinction of sect ; and those who have enjoyed the advan-
tage of conversing with him on religious topics, cannot have failed to appreciate the industry which had
gliven him so vast a store of knowledge. To these jmrsuits he added the study of Latin. The strength
of mind displayed in these intellectual pursuits by one who was obliged to look for his daily bread to
the labour of his own hands, will appear, on reflection, to form perha])s the most remarkable trait in
Yum character. At the age of twenty-three he married the grand-daughter of the Rev. Mr. Clark, the
Baptist Minister at Frome, and this change in his circumstances rendered him doubly anxious for a
different sphere of life.

At length the long-expected opportunity arrived. The post of Master in a School supported by the
Church in Broadmead, in the city of Bristol, became vacant. His friends urged him to apply for it.
He came up to Bristol, underwent an examination before the Committee of management, and was
u n a nim ously accepted. Tlie salary was small, i^'40-a-year ; but it brought him into a new circle, where
his energies and talents might have wider i)lay. He removed to that city at the age of twenty-five, and
obtained permission to devote the time, not occupied in this School, to one of hut own. This Seminary
was soon crowded with pupils ; it rose rapidly in public estimation, and placed him, at once, in circum-
stances of independence. Among his scholars was the late lamented and amiable Mr. Rich, the Resi-
dent at Bagdad, whose work on Babylon has given him so just a celebrity. But the chief advantage of
his position at Bristol was the introduction it afforded him to Dr. Ryland, the President of the Baptist
Academy. He entered as a student in that Seminary, and devoted every moment, which he could spare
from his avocations, to his studies under so able a Master. He applied himself diligently to the Greek
and Hebrew languages ; and subsequently added to them a knowledge of Arabic and Syriac, in which
his attainments, though not profound, were greatly above mediocrity. In this congenial course of
improvement he passed six of the happiest years of his life. By the advice of Dr. Ryland he prepared
himself for the Ministry, for which his great theological reading had well fitted him, and there was
every prospect of his becoming an ornament to the denomination, in his native land, with which he was
anociated. But a nobler field of exertion was now opened before him ; for which, in the economy of
Providence, this previous training appears evidently to have been intended to prepare him.

Dr. Carey, who had been employed for six years in India, in tlie new and untried field of Missionary
labours, while his future colleague was completing his studies at Bristol, had requested the Baptist
Missionary Society, of which Dr. Ryland was one of the founders, to send more labourers into the
Tineyard. Dr. Ryland proposed the subject to his pupil, and found that it was not altogether new to
bis mind, as the perusal of tlie Periodical Accounts of the Mission had begun to kindle in his mind an
anxiety for India. He was accepted by the Society, then in its infancy, as a Missionary, and embarked
with Mr. Grant, one of his own pupils, Mr. Ward, and Mr. Brunsden, in the Criterion^ an American
▼esseL They arrived at Bengal in October, and intending to proceed to Mudnabatty to join Dr. Carey,
were advised to take up their abode temporarily at Serampore, where they landed on the 13th October,
1799. It was about this time that the fear of an invasion of India by the French predominated in the
Government Councils, several French emissaries in the guise of priests having been detected about the
country. In announcing the arrival of Dr. Marshman and his associates, the Printer of one of the
Calcutta papers, who had never heard of the existence of a Baptist denomination, set forth that four
Plapist Missionaries had arrived in a foreign ship and proceeded up to a foreign settlement. The
paragraph could not fail to catch Lord Wellesley's eye. The Captain was instantly summoned to the
Police, and informed that his ship would be refused a port clearance unless he engaged to take back the
Papist Missionaries. He explained the mistake, and in one respect removed the fears of Government ;
bnt there was so strong a disposition manifested to obstruct Missionary operations, upon the plea of
tiieir dangerous tendency, that the Missionaries found they could not reside with any confidence in the
British territories — and that it was wise to accept of the countenance and protection which was so
generously offered them by the Danish authorities. Dr. Carey felt the full force of their arguments,
and soon after came down to join them, and thus commenced the Serampore Mission.

Three congenial mind^ were thus brought together by the appointment of Providence, and they lost
no time in laying a broad basis for their future operations. They threw their whole souls into the
noble enterprise which demanded all their courage and zeal ; since from the British Grovemment they
had nothing but the sternest opposition to expect, the moment the extension and the success of their
labours should bring them into public notice. The resources of the Society were totally inadequate to
the support of all the Missionary families now in the field. Indeed, Dr. Marshman and his associates
had come out with the distinct understanding that they were to receive support only till they could
support themselves. They immediately began to open independent sources of income. Dr. Carey
obtained the post of Professor in the College of Fort William, then recently established. Dr. and Mrs.
Marshman opened a boarding-school, and Mr. Ward established a printing-office, and laboured with
his own hands in setting the types of the first edition of the Bengalee New Testament, which Dr. Carey
had brought with him. Dr. Carey's motto, *' Ejrpecf great thinff«y attempt great things ^^* became
the watchword of the three. They determined by a noble sacrifice of individual interests and comforts,
to live as one family, and to throw their united income into one joint-stock, to be devoted to the
common cause. Merging all minor differences of opinion in a sacred anxiety for the promotion of the
great enterprise which absorbed their minds, they made a combined movement for the diffusion of

342 REVEREND JOSHUA MARSEIMAN, D. D.

tnith and knowledge in India. To the hostility of Government, and to every discouragement which
arose from the nature of the undertaking, they opposed a spirit of Christian meekuess and calm perse,
verance. They stood in the front of the battle of Indian niiMions ; and during the arduous struggle,
which terminated witli the charter of 1813, in grauthig misitionaries free access to India, — they never,
for a moment, deserted their post, or di.spaired of succe:i8. Wtien, at a suhseqnent period, Lord
llsdtiugsi, who honoured them with his kind support, had occasion to advert, iu conversation, to the
severe conflict they had passed through, he assured them thit, in his opinion, the freedom of resort to
India which missionaries then enjoyed, was owing, und-^r God, to tlie prudence, the seal and the wis-
dom which they had manifested, when the whole weight of government, in England and India, was
directed to the extinction of the missionary enterprise.

It would be impoAsil)le within the limits to which we must confine ourselves, to enumerate ihis plans
which they formed for the mission, for trauMlations of the sacred scriptures, and for education ; or the
obstacles which tried the strength of their principles. Neither is it possible to individuaUze Dr.
Marshman's etforts in every case ; for, so complete was the unity of their designs, that it aeemed as if
three great souls had l)een united in one, so as to have but one object, and to be imbued with one
impulse. But with this unity of design, thiTc wiis necessarily a division of labour; and we may briefly
state therefore the ))articular objects which engaged Dr. Marshman's time and attention. In 1806, he
applied himself ililigently to the study of the Chinrae Luiguage, and was enabled to publish atranslatioa
of the entire scriptures, and a grammar in tliat tongue. The Loll liazaar Chapel, erected at a time
when the means of religious instruction in Calcutta were small, and when religious feeling was at so
low an ebb that even INlartyn could not command, on an evening, a congregation of more than twenty,
was mainly indebted for its existence to Dr. Marshman's persoiud elforti. When the erection of it
was suspended for lack of funds, he went about from house to house raising subscriptions for it ; and
for his pains was exhibited in masquerade, at an entertainment given to Lord Minto, as a ** Picas Mis-
sionary, begging subscriptions." To liim the Benevolent Institution iu Calcutta was indebted for its
birth and subsequent vigour. The idea of it was struck out when Dr. Leyden, Dr. Marshman, and
Dr. Hare were dining together ; and the prospectus, drawn up by Dr. Marshman, was carefully revised
by Dr. Leyden. He continued to act as Secretary to the Institution to the last moment in wluch his
health permitted him to act. He was also associated with Dr. Carey in the translation of the Rama-
yana into Klnglish, of which three volumes were published. To the plan of native schools, he gave up
much time and labour ; and the valuable *' Hints*' which he published, in the form of a pamphlet,
just at the period when the first efforts were made for education in India, twenty-one yean ago, was
deemed worthy of beiikg incorporated with one of the leading public Jttious in England.

In 1826, he revisiteid England after an absence of twenty-seven years, and travelled through the
United Kingdom, endeavouring by his public addresses, and in private conversation, to urge on the
cause of missions ; and tliere are many now in India, to whom this notice will recall, with a melancholy
pleasure, the warmth and animation which he was the means of communicating to their minds on that
subject. He visited Denmark, and was graciously received by his Majesty Frederick the Sixth, to
whose steady and uninterrupted protection the mission may be said to have baen indebted for its exist-
ence, when assailed by the British government. His Majesty was pleased to grant a charter of incor-
poration to the Serampore College, upon Dr. Marshmairs petition. He returned to Serampore in
May 1829, and joined Dr. Carey and his associates in superintending the mission under the new form
of an inde|>endent association, which it had acquired. In June, 1834, he was deprived of this venera-
ble friend and colleague with whom he had been permitted to act for thirty-five years. He bore the
separation with more firmness than was ex{)ected ; but the dissolution of such an union, cemented by
the noblest of all undertakings and sanctified by time, made a deep and indeed indelible impression on
his mind. All the veneration and affection of his younger associates, could not fill up the void created
by the loss of Dr. Carey. He appeared among us as the solitary relic of a past age of great men.
The activity of his mind, however, though witli occasional interruptions, continued till the mind itself
appeared to be worn out. About six weeks before his death, he was taken out on the river by die
advice of Dr. Nicolson and Dr. Voigt, but his constitution was exhausted. Yet when the exctteraent
of this short excursion, which was extended to Fort Gloster, had given him a small return of strength,
both bodily and mental, the energy of former times seemed again to come over him, and he psMsd
several days in arranging plans of usefulness, the accomplishment of which would have required jeers.
At length, on Tuesday, the 5th of December, he gently sank to rest, without pain or sorroir, la the
lively enjoyment of that hope which is full of immortality.

The form of Dr. Marshman was tall and athletic. His constitution appeared to be framed of iron.
He exposed himself to all the severities of an Indian climate, with perfect impunity. He enjoyed,
till within the last year of his life, such uninterrupted health as falls to the lot of few in India. During
thirty-seven years he had not taken medicine to the value of 10 rupees. The strength of Ids body seemed
to be admirably adapted, with the structure of his mind, to fit him for the long career of usefulness he
was permitted to run. He was petiuliarly remarkable for his ceaseless industry. He usually rose at
four, and despatched half the business of the day before breakfasL When extraordinary exertions
appeared neci^snry, he seemed to have a perfect command over sleep, and has been known, for days
together, to take less than half his usual quantity of rest. His memory was great beyond that of most
men. He recalled facts, with all their minute associations, with the utmost &cility. This faculty be
enjoyed to the latest day of his existence. During the Last month of his life, when unable even to torn
on hiR couch without assistance, he dictated to his daughter, Mrs. Voigt, his recollections of the eariy
establishment of the Mission at Serampore. with a clearness and minuteness perfectly astonishing. The
vast stores of knowletlge which he had lai<l up in early life, and to which he was making constant
addition, rendered his personal intercourse in society a great enjoyment. His manners and deport.
nipnt, partienlarly towards his inferiors, were remarkable for amenity and humility. To his family he
wab devoted alino&t to a fault, so that his enemies found iu this subject a fertile field for criminatioa—

THE REVEtlEND WILLIAM WARD. 343

with what generosity of feeling let erery parent judge. During a union of more than forty-six years,
he was the most devoted of husbands, and as the father of a family of twelve children, of whom only
six lived to an age to appreciate his worth, and only five survive to deplore his loss, he was the most
affectionate of parents.

The leading traits of his character, more especially in the earlier part of his career, were energy and
firmness. These, combined with a spirit of strong perseverance, enabled him to assist in carrying into
effect the enlarged views in which he and his colleagues delighted to indulge. His piety was deep
and genuine. His religious sentiments were without bigotry. But the most distinguishing feature in
his Ufe, was his ardent zeal for the cause of missions. lliis zeal never for a moment suffered any
abatement, but rather seemed to gather strength from every new difficulty. The precious cause,
as he latterly denominated it, occupied his dying thoughts as it had occupied his living exertions ;
and the last question which he asked of those around him was *' can you think of any thing 1
can yet do for it ?'' This zeal was united with a degree of pecuniary disinterestedness which has
seldom been surpassed. He considered it his greatest privilege that God had enabled him to lay
on the altar of his cause so large a contribution from his own labours. With the means of
amassing an ample fortune, he did not leave behind him, of all his own earnings in India for
thirty -eight years, more than the amount of a single year's income of his Seminary in its palmy days.

We owe some apology for the length to which this notice has been extended ; but the subject scarcely
admitted of our saying less. To some even this lengthened memorial of the last survivor of the three
men who were, under God, the means of giving a spiritual and intellectual impulse to India, which felt,
during the present century, seems likely to remain forever, will not be displeasing ; while others may
possibly find some excuse for the length to which filial veneration has extended a tribute of affection,
for one to whom the writer is indebted for whatever can be deemed valuable in life.

THE REVEREND WILLIAM WARD.

Mr. MTard arrived in India October the 13th, 1799. Of his earlier years we have no account,
except that his career was such as marked the benevolent, disinterested, and diligent man, and that he
was placed, after a suitable education, under the care of Benslay, known in London as one of the
ablest in the typographic art. He improved the opportunities he there possessed of enlarging his mind ;
and about his nineteenth year, religion gave it that effectual turn which laid the foundation for his
future usefulness and excellence of character. After having, with much ability, conducted a provincial
paper for years, in Hull, he at length determined to devote himself wholly to the eternal salvation of
his fellow-creatures, as the highest object for which he could live. Upon this, resigning his secular
business, he, with a delicacy of mind, which he carried into all his future concerns, placed himself, at
his own charge, under an eminent Divine with a view of fitting liimself for the ministry, although he
might liave been welcomed into any of those institutions, supported by the British public, with the view
of assisting young men in preparing for the ministry. The Divine under whom he studied, was Dr,
Fawcett of Yorkshire, the author of an excellent Commentary on the scriptures.

It was while studying under this good man, and occasionally preaching in the villages around, that
Mr. Ward learnt the state of the Mission in Bengal, recently begun by Messrs. Carey and Thomas, —
the former of whom he knew previously to his embarking for India : and finding that while a translation
of the scriptures was in great forwardness, the difficulty and expense of printing in the infant state of
the art tiiere, were such as to create much discouragement, his mind became enkindled by an unquench-
able desire to engage in the work of printing and spreading the scriptures among the Hindoos ; while
his view of the miseries of that people, daily perishing in ignorance and vice, suffered him to make no
farther delay, than was necessary to arrange for his voyage with the Rev. Andrew Fuller, Secretary to
the Baptist Missionary Society, a man of kindred mind 8nd spirit. On the 25th of May, 1799, he left
London in the American ship Criterion, accompanied by his brethren, Marshman, Grant and Brunsdon,
(with their respective families), he being alone unmarried. On the voyage, perhaps one of the most
pleasant ever made to India, though it lasted nearly 5 months, the kindness of Captain Wickes,
an honor to his country and to religion, gave Mr. Ward, with his brethren, full opportunity of gratifying
their benevolent wishes. Dividing the ship's company into two classes, he and his colleagues regularly
attended them day by day, instructing some in reading, others in writing and Arithmetic, and others
more advanced, in whatever they chose to learn of an abstruser character ; and with the exception of
about four, the whole of the ship's crew and the passengers were under a course of tuition during the
voyage, Mr. Ward himself rrauming his studies in Greek, which he had commenced under Dr. Fawcett.
Thus the ship resembled a temple of learning ; and days and weeks glided away almost without being
perceived. Meanwhile, on the sabbath and in the week, preaching, prayer, and reading the scriptures,
furnished a rich variety of exercises, in which Captain invariably participated, he himself in rota-
tion leading their morning and evening exercises of devotion. On Mr. Ward's arrival in India,
his mind at once entered into the situation of the natives, and although thirty, he applied with so much
vigour and perseverance to the study of the language, that he delivered his first Bengalee sermon in
the Mission Chapel at Serampore within 19 months after his arrival. He however soon discerned that
the voice of the European Missionary could perform but a small part of the labour necessary to the
planting of the Gospel there, and that far more, under the Divine blessing, was likely to be effected by
the press towards shaking that vast fabric of superstition which had stood for so many ages. To this
therefore he recurred with new delight.

While Mr. Ward devoted himself with all the energies of his soul to the salvation of the Hindoos,
die same delicacy of mind which had made him decline all gratuitous help in preparing himself for the
ministry determined him and his brethren to be no burden to the public at home, while seeking the
good of the heathen abroad. In the first mouth of their united resideace at Serampore, January 1800,

344 THE REVEREND WILLIAM WARD.

when Rcarcely able to support their families, they with tliia view entered into a folemn corenant with
each other, in which they agreed to form a common stock and a common table, while, to meet all other
expenses for their families, they prescribed an equal and rigid course of economy, each according to
the size of his family, receiving a certain sum monthly from the common stock. The rest they devoted
to form a fund ap]>licable, under their own direction, to the support of their widows and orphans
should they die in the prosecution of their work, and to the spread of the Gospel around them in
whatever way they might deem most efficient. This family covenant, with such alterations made by
themselves as circumstances dictated, has been sacredly observed ever since. Having thus formed their
plan, Mr. Ward, who was exceeded by none of his brethren in zeal and disinterestedness, bent his
mind to realize its objects by the most strenuous mental and even personal labour. One slight instance
may not be unworthy of notice. The first edition of the New Testament in Bengalee was put to
press in May 1800, as soon as a fount of types had been cast under his direction. Thinking it would
save expense while it would advance his knowledge of the language, he, assisted by Mr. Brunsdon
and Dr. Carey's eldest son, then about fourteen, (both of whom he had taught the art) composed the
whole edition with his own hands, finishing it in about ten months. Thus, the first edition of the
Bengalee New Testament was brought through the press by European manual labour.

To trace the whole of this excellent man's labours, in the succeeding 20 years, would take up too
much space. We can only mention a few particulars. The Bengalee version of the New Testament
being published Mr. Ward and his colleagues could not contemplate the state of the country aroond,
without longing that the Scriptures might be given in the other languages of India. Of these the San-
scrit, the Hindee, and the Orissa, first claimed attention ; and it was determined to attempt a transla.
tion into them without hinting it to any one. Nor was it until (1805,) nearly four years after, that
the step was disclosed. In this work, Mr. Ward rendered material assistance to his bre&ren. While
his love to the Scriptures made him commence the study of the Persian and Hindee with the hope of
rendering aid in the Hindee translations, he in addition to his daily labours as a Missionary, set about
the formation of such new founts of tyi>es as the edition of the scriptures would require, and thus,
before a version was ready, types were prepared to give it circulation. Such a blessing rested on this
course, that at the time of his decease, he had completed no less than fifteen founts of Indian diaracter8«
besides those in Persian and Chinese, with which he had brought through the press 20 versions of the
New Testament, the twentieth being printed to the Epistle of James, at the time of his decease.
Although he was herein assisted with all the advice and help his brethren could afford him, still the
industry and energy nceessary to enable any one in an Indian clime to go through sudi a labour, can
be appreciated only by those who know the country.

The speedy decay of the paper mode in India, was also found a most discouraging cireumstanoe. The
havoc made in it by insects threatened destruction to almost every copy of the scriptures in a few
years. As it was impossible to employ Europe paper, on account of its cost, nothing remained but the
hope of forming a paper of Indian materials as impervious to insects as English. This experiment,
with the advce of his brethren, Mr. Ward commenced nearly fifteen years ago, and after a long series
of disappointments which would have deterred many from further attempts, he had the satisfihction of
producing, by means of the steam engine, paper produced as enduring, and as impervious to insects,
as English paper and at a price not higher than that given for paper made in the country.

With his indefatigable industry in conducting business, Mr. Ward united the zeal and spiritual-
mindedness of the most devoted Missionary. The manner in which he laboured, personally, among
the Heathen, in season and out of season, his tender and assiduous care in forming the minds of the
native converts ; his missionary correspondence in India, Europe, and America, his seising every
moment of leisure to send forth something from the Press which might be profitable to the mind, all
testify how fiiUy the Missionary cause reigned in his heart, and with what success he furthered its objects.

In thus striving, after the example of the apostle, to promote the planting of the Gospel in a
Heathen country by the labour of his hands, as well as by his missionary ministrations, Mr. Ward
enjoyed happiness of a peculiar nature, and such was the blessing granted on his own exertions, and
those of his colleagues, that, before his death, he saw ten Missionary stations in Bengal and Hindustan
beside his own, annually supported by their own efforts or those they had originated in India, without
the annual expenditure of a penny raised in Europe for Missionary purposes. To this might be added,
the buildings of the Serampore College, erected at the expense of himself and his colleagues, while he
so ardently pleaded its cause, both in Europe and in America. At his death, it is probable, that in
addition to his own professional efforts, he contributed, annually, a larger sum to Missionary olqeets
than any single individual. Thus did this genuine friend to India, employ that skill and industry,
which might have realized an ample fortune for his family, in seeking to plant the gospel therein,
expending on this sacred object the product of his labour from year to year, under his own direction,
and uniting in himself the three-fold character of benefactor, superintendent, and misnonary.

Yet while thus acting, he thought nothing of his labours, or of himself, his attention was so fixed on
the difficulties of the work, and the vastncss of what remained to be done, that no idea was more
prominent in his mind than the insufficiency of all human effort without Divine aid, and the necessity
of earnest and ]>ersevering prayer, that this might be granted. His whole hope, as to his personal
acceptance with God, was fixed tm the death and mediation of the Saviour ; and the highest title he
ever desired was that off, *• a sinner saved by grace."

Nor did he cultivate these Missionary feelings at the expense of the social virtues ; gentle, wise, and
kind ; so amiable indeed in the whole of his intercourse with his family and friends, that they almost
forget him as a public man, in the loss they felt themselves to have sustained in their domestie drde,
and the common intercourse of life, by the termination of their intercourse.

The same spirit of kindness and affection pervaded his writings. And if ever the pen of one who
wrote on Indian affairs was guided by philanthropy and truth, it was that of Mr. Ward's. His after
works breathe the same fervor. His " farewell letters" too well deserve the name : they were indeed

MRS. HANNAH MARSHMAN. 345

such to most of the friends to whom they addressed ; while hU '' reflections oa the word of God" may
be regarded as his dying meditations, and disclose in the fullest manner those springs of faith, and
hope and sacred joy, which continually nourished his own vigorous and happy mind.

That after 24 years thus spent in seeking the welfare of India, his surviving brethren should mourn
his loss, will not appear strange. Still amidst their deepest grief, they bless the Giver of all good, that
he was so long continued to them, and that a life of the most exemplary usefulness, was crowned by
a death of more than ordinary calmness and resignation.

Thejbllomng InscriptioHf in scribed on a white marble tablety is placed in the Mission Chapel at

Serampore : —

This Tablet is inscribed to the Memory of the Serampore Missionaries —

IXTilliam Carey, Joshua Marshman, William IVard,

and of their faithful and beloved associate

John Mack,

in the chapel consecrated by their ministrations, 1845.

MRS. HANNAH MARSHMAN, (Widow of Joshua Marshman, D. D.J

Mrs. Marshman, was a daughter of Mr. J. Sheppard and grand-daughter of the Rev. Mr. Clarke,
of Frome, pastor of a Church in Brotherton, Wiltshire, she was early brought to think of her sinful
state and place her reliance upon Christ. Her mother was a truly jiious person, and was in the habit
of speaking often and feelingly to her little girl. When Mrs. Marshman was eight years old her mo-
ther died, which so affected the father that it preyed upon his health and within three years after he
was carried to the tomb^-thus at the early age of eleven was the subject of this memoir, left an or-
phan. The charge of the little girl devolved upon her grand-father, who nurtured in her all those
pious feelings which had been first planted in her breast by the conversations of her mother. At the
age of 15, she was led to think seriously of joining herself to Christ's people; and at this time her
health was so delicate that more than once her Ufe was despaired of; to this period she always referred,
as the happiest of her life in which she was during her distress led to think more upon her state as a
sinner and to put her whole dependence upon the Saviour. Soon after this she was baptized by the Rev.
Mr. Marshman of Westbury Leigh, no relation to her subsequent husband. At 17, she became ac-
quainted with Dr. Marshman, her future husband and soon after marriage, went to reside at Bristol where
a wide sphere of usefulness opened for both of them. They lived most happy. Their cup of bliss seemed
full, so full that for a long time she could not join in her husband's views to engage in Mission work.

Her removal had been expected for some time ; more than once during the last twelvemonths it was
thought her end was at hand. Her's was a gradual decay ; at intervals she rallied but all could see
she was slowly slaking into her rest. The delightful natare of religion was beautifully exemplified in
her experience when at the near approach of death. Her's was a settled and well-grounded hope, and
she reali/cd in her last moments the enjoyment to be derived from religion.

One feature in her deportment when viewing the grim monster must not be omitted, and this was a
spirit of prayer ; this characterized her during life, her attendance upon the Thursday morning
prayer- meetings was never neglected, and this was continued after entering on her eightieth year.

On the 2d of March a sudden change had taken place — death had evidently put his seal upon her.
Mr. Denham was summoned to her bedside, and found her calm ; all her mental powers unimpaired.
She addressed him and said she would not long continue a tenant of this world, and then spoke of her
trust in the Saviour. She referred with evident delight to the period when she had been brought to a
sense of her lost condition, and looked back upon her thoughts and feelings then. Mr. Denham read
with her the 43d Psalm, to each verse of which she responded. At 5 P. M. when Mr. Denham
again saw her she was in deep thought ; her mind seemed to be in repose. Upon noticing her visitor
she addressed him, and uttered several stanzas which, as she informed her daughter, she had committed
to memory before she was eighteen years of age. To this period her thoughts seem constantly to be
turning ; it was then, she said, that Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress was so useful to her. To a ques-
tion from her daughter, as to whether she had any fears, she energetically answered — " no fears, child,
no fears ; has lie not said that He will save to the uttermost those that come unto him, and will not
cast away any }" And then turning to Mr. Denham, she added, '* should you speak of me after my
death speak to the people and tell them, He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many
waters," she then begged him to read the part where Bunyan describes the pilgrims as having just
escaped from drowning in the river Jordan. The time, the circumstances seemed all to be realized
in her case. '* I wish myself among them," she repeated with a great deal of feeling and energy.
The words of Steadfast seemed to interest her much, and when the reader came to the part where a
change was manifested in the appearance of Stea({fast^ a brightness seemed to spread itself over her
countenance ; the reader could not proceed and stopped ; her spirit had fled, death had taken pos-
session of her without any of her friends perceiving it ; she died on the bosom of her daughter.

The deceased had nearly completed her eightieth year and nearly the forty-eighth year of her resi-
dence in the country, she was one of that small and devoted band that formed the Baptist Mission in
India, and was a Member of the Church which was commenced at Serampore in the year 1804. In her
removal the last link of that chain which connected the latter Missionaiies with the former brethren has
been broken.

The following Inscription to her memory is placed in the Mission Chapel at Serampore :—'
In Memory of Hannah Maralunani widow of Joshua Marshman, D. D.

tlic last surviving Member of the Mission Family at Serampore, she arrived in this settlement in

October 1799, and opened a seminary to aid in the support of the Mission in May 1800,

after having consecrated her life and property to (he promotion of this sacred cause and exhibited

•an example of humble piety and energetic benevolence for forty-seven years.

bhe was removed to her eternal rest at the age of eighty, March 5th, 1847.

This tablet is erected to the Memory of the Honorable J. 8. Hohlenbergli, Esquire
late Chief of his Danish Majesty's settlement of Fredericksnagore by a number of its
European and Native inhabitants, in commemoration of his singular worth, both public and private.
He was distinguished for loyalty to his Sovereign, and for every virtue wluch belongs
to a good Magistrate. He maintained public order with mild but vigorous firmness. He
administered justice with purity and impartiality beyond suspicion. He relieved
distress with wise and unostentatious generosity. He gave his support to all that was
virtuous and philanthropic and frowned only upon vice. In private life, as a husband, a father
and a friend, he was conscientious, devoted, and enlightened. His loss is therefore
bewailed as a personal bereavement, as well as a public calamity
by those who have thus sought to record his excellence.
He was bom at Copenhagen 1793, he died on the River Hoogly on the 11th May 1833,
and was buried in the public Burying Ground of tlus settlement

Reader, pause a moment, she is not dead but
eleepeth. By rich grace brought to see her sin
and danger before she was eight years old, she
fled for refuge to the Redeemer, and walking
humbly before him, she so discharged the duties
of life, as ever to live in the affections of her
parents, her brothers and sisters, and her bereaved
husband ; but while enjoying the clioicest earthly
bleuings ; and beloved beyond the power of words
to describe, she, ripe for glory, longed to depart
and be with Chribt, as far better ; beholding her
desire, her Redeemer at length said, "enter into
the joy of thy Lord,'' on which her renewed soul,

2 Y 2

rising above mortal joys, left its clay tenement
and entered into its rest.

of Mill's History of British India, for the School Book Sode^. He bad alio for some years
been assisting his venerable parent in various Biblical tranilationi, for which ha was peculiarly
qualified ; as he came out with his father to India when quite a boy, and was undoabtedly the best
Bengalee scholar among his countrymen ; especially in his knowledge of the Idioms and construction
of that language. In the midst of all these engagements for the good of India, and in the prime of life,
he was cut off, and carried from the bosom of an affectionate family into eternity.

The following Inscription to his Memory marks his grave : —

A prisoner of hope released.

THE LATE MR. BOECK.—rLaie Governor f(f the settlement i^ Serampore,)

Mr. Boeck had exercbed the office of Judge and Magistrate of Serampore for eight years, and for
more than two years was Governor of the settlement. After the death of Mr. Hohlenbergfa, liJs health
had latterly suffered so severely, from his unwearied application to the duties of hia station, that a
voyage to sea appeared to afford the only chance of recovery. In July 1836, he embarked for China
on the " Victory," but it was soon discovered that his constitution was irrecoverably broken, and he died
two days after landing at Macao, at the house of the Reverend Mr. Gntzlaff*. Of Mr. Boeck it may
truly be said, that he has fallen a martyr to the service of Hia Danish Majesty. Hia high aenae of
duty led to exertions beyond the measure of his bodily strength, and he has sunk into the gnuve under
the pressure of his official labours and anxieties. To the harrassing duties of Judge and Magistrate
and Administrator of Estates, he devoted generally ten hours of the day, from aeven in the morning to
sunset ; and as copies of many proceedings are required to be sent to Copenhagen, he was obl%ed
from want of adequate assistance, too frequently to encroach upon the hours of rest. Tlie last act of
important duty in which he waa engaged, was in breaking up an extensive combination of robbers, who
had for a long time carried on a system of depredation in Calcutta and its neighbooriiood, and made
Serampore their head-quarters. With untiring perseverance he pursued them to all their haunts ; and
being ably second«.d by the British functionaries, succeeded in capturing more than forty of the chief
robbers, and in dispersing the gang. The anxieties of this pursuit, and the fatigue of the criminal
enquiries, completed the ruin of hu health, and obliged him to seek its restoration in a voyage to sea,
from which unhappily for his friends, and society, he has not been permitted to retnm. Daring hia
administration, the police was placed in a state of efficiency which it had never readied before. Hia
conduct in the CivU Court was marked by the most scrupulous impartiality and justioe ; and at the
same time mixed up with the greatest kindness. We have known him to spend hours in endeavouring
to reconcile parties who were bent on plunging into the expenses of a law suit ; so that while he
inspired confidence as a Judge, he won affection as a paternal mediator. Among minor i»Vi"^f to
public gratitude, we may mention the singular neatness in which he kept the town by a vigilant
attention to the roads and drains. In all the domestic relations of life as a friend, a hnaband, a fiather,
his conduct was most exemplary, and both his own more intimate acquaintance, and tiie inhabitants of
the place generally, feel that his death has created a void which cannot be easily filled*

CHINSURAH.

MRS. MUNDY, OF THE LONDON MISSIONARY SOCIETY.— O'a/e of Chinsurah.)

The subject of these brief remarks became the wife of a Missionary, and arrived in India with her
hatband, in November 1832. She applied with great diligence to the acquisition of the native language,
and established a small native female school, in the vicinity of her residence at Chinsurah. This
however afforded her but little hope of usefulness, and her attention was soon directed tu the Portuguese
population around, who were perishing for lack of knowledge ; she began her school amongst them
with only four children, and in three years she looked on seventy faces surrounding her in her own
and her infant school. Her whole soul was in her work ; she loved the children, and was beloved by
them ; for their welfare she was wiUing to live and ready to die. Not more than three weeks before
her death she was regretting that her labours had been so inefficient, fearing that she had done little
good ; she also observed that if it was the will of God, she should like to die in Chinsurah, as it might
be the means of producing results, which (she thought) by her labour she did not accomplish. Thus
far did she exemplify the spirit of Him who said, " greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay
down his life for his friends." As she lived, so she died, full of the confidence of Christian faith and
hope. Her funeral was affecting, followed as it was by her sorrowful pupils, together with their
parents ; near the hearse were her pensioners, the old and poor, for Christian, Musalman or Heathen
all shared her bounty.

The following is the Inscripiion copied from her Monument in the Chinsurah Burial Ground :

Martha, wife of the Rev. G. Mundy,
died July 7th, 1842, aged 57 years.
Her life was devoted to the service of Christ, and on him alone in death she rested her hopes.
She was the friend of the poor and the instructress of the young ; and largely

secured their esteem and affection.
" The blessing of them that were ready to perish, came upon her ; and she
caused the widow's heart to sing for joy."

MRS. HERKLOTS, OF CHINSURAH.

Mrs. Herklots was the wife of Gregory Herklots, Esq., Fiscal of Chinsurah ; she was bom and
educated in this country and rose above all the real or imaginary disadvantages of a whole life spent
in India. By the grace of God, her naturally buoyant and lively temper was constrained for the
mrice of Christ, which rendered her at once a cheerful and instructive companion. She was the
modier of sixteen living children, the whole of whom were in a great measure reared under her roof ;
these, together with the parties connected with her family by alliance, and their descendants, amounted
to not less than 105 souls. For the spiritual and temporal welfare of all these she was ever on the
alert. She was most industrious even up to her last illness ; and though nearly blind she was still
active, ministering to the temporal necessities of the poor, and endeavouring to benefit their souls.
These were her employments. She received and loved all real truth, and all the true disciples of God,
and her determination and practice was to live fully to God. In this, his grace helping, she succeeded,
holding fast the beginning of her confidence to the end, and that end was peace.

MAJOR GENERAL SIR JOHN WITHINGTON ADAMS, G. C. B.

Major General Sir John IKnthinirton Adama was greatly bdoved by all who were under hia
command or associated with him during his long and glorious Military career in India. Who has been
under Sir John Adams' command, and not felt the kind and affectionate attention, the sympathies of
a friend ? All who knew him, will recollect the gentle, though penuasive, tone of his admooitioiis ;
the kind manner in which he always expressed himself, and acted as if he felt an hiterest hi the
welfare and happiness of the individual with whom he was convening. His consideration for othen,
and the real active benevolence of his heart ; such were the qualities which made him beloved bj all.
It is well known that the natives were sincerely and devotedly attached to him, and that they fondly
styled him Baba Adams. He never turned a deaf ear to a complaint or tale of sorrow, and was not
only liberal in actual donations, but on every occasion soothed the sorrows he oould not altogether
alleviate, by a tender sympathy, and showed that he felt another's woes.

The following is a brief sketch of the gallant veteran's military career : —

Major General Sir J. W. Adams entered the service in 1780 ; he was present at the battle fought
with theBohillas, under Sir R. Abercrombie in 1794 ; in 1799 he was present at the battle of Mallie-
vellie ; under General Harries at the storm and capture of Seringapatam ; and at the taking of several
Forts. In 1809 he commanded his Regiment, attached to the force under Migor General St. Leger,
on the banks of the Sutledge, shortly after which he successfiilly commanded a detachment hi tiie
Bhutte country ; in 1813, he commanded the field force in Rowah, and captured by storm the Fort of
Entaree, for which he received the thanks of Government. In 1815, was made a Companion of the
Bath and obtained the command of the Kumaon province. In 1816 he was selected to command die
Nagpore SubsidUry Force. In 1817, he commanded the 5th Division of the army of the Dekhm. In
the following year he totally defeated the army of the Peshwah at Sonee, and afterwards took by storm
the strongly fortified city of Chandnh. In 1826, Brigadier General Adams, C. B. oommuided the
reserve at the siege of Bhurtpore, which concluded his active service* in the field. He was appointed

bj Brevet in 1830, and subsequently made a Knight Commander of the Bath, and resigned the com-
mand, having completed his tour on the Staff on the 17th April 1837.

Mi^jor General Sir J. W. Adams died on the 9th March 1837, and his remains were interred at
Subathoo. The following Inscription, copied from Iiis Monument, marks the grave : —

In meek submission to the will of God,

A life of endless happiness to come.

THE REVEREND J. T. REICHARDT.

The Rev. John Theophilus Reichardt was bom at Heidelberg, in Baden. His fiitlier held a
respectable station in the service, first of the Grand Duke of Baden, afterwards of the King of
Wirtemberg. He was one of several sons, and at one time was inclined to take up the profisstion of
arms, to which he was moved by a mingled feeling of patriotism and love of action. Happily for
himself, and it is to be hoped, for many others, the Military ardour gave place to a holier and fkr more
powerful enthusiasm, and he devoted himself with a zeal which never subsided, to the service of God
and the spiritual welfare of his fellow-men. After the usual classical preparation at a school in Stutt-
garat, he passed through the prescribed course of literary and theological study in the well known and
admirably conducted Missionary Seminary at Basle, and came out to India in 1822, as a Lutheran
Minister, under the auspices of the Church Missionary Society. Friends yet surviving bear foU and
satisfactory testimony to tlie more than even ordinary zeal, spirituality of mind, and temper, with
which Mr. Reichardt entered on his Missionary labours in Calcutta. Naturally of an actire and elastic
temperament, animated with a most fervent devotion to God, filled with regard for the honor of the
Saviour, and penetrated with pity for the blind and debased idolaters among whom his work was
assigned him. he beset himself at once and in earnest to the task of an evangelist. He had made a very
respectable proficiency in general literature, as well as in classical, biblical and theological learning.
He had published several vi^able works in tltc Bengalee language.

The Rev. Mr. Reichardt had acquired considerable facility in colloquial and pulpit discourse, and
left no opportunity of exercising his talents unimproved.

In the year 1829, it is believed some unhappy diflferences of opinion between the Cakntta Mission-
aries and Church Missionary Committee, occasioned our deceased friend to withdraw from the Society.
Yet he felt throughout the comfort of a good conscience ; he was actuated neither by pride nor cove-
tousness — had neither grown luckwarm nor ambitious — he left the Mission with the deepest regret, and
most reluctantly turned himself to tuition as the only mode either of support or usefulness then open
to him. Yet did he not forego the character nor remit all the feasible exertions of a Missionary ; but
continued still in many ways, by his contributions, his pen, and his voice, to make known " among
the heathen the unsearchable riches of Christ." His earthly tenement reposes in the cemetery of
Bhagulpore, awaiting the resurrection.

LIEUT. PHILIP BOWLES BURLTON, CLate of the Bengal Artillery.)

TTic brief career of a Subaltern of Artillery, who perished before he had completed his twenty-sixth
year, could seem to afford small scope for an obituary notice ; but there were circumstances connected
with the imblic and private life of the subject of this memoir, as well as with the sad and tragical ter-
mination of his existence, that justify us in giving a place to his memory in this our mournful record.

Lieut. Bnrlton was the fifth and youngest son of the late William Burlton, Esq. of Wykin Hall,
lietcestershire, and Donhead Lodge, Wiltshire, and his mother, who still survives (1839) is a sister of
the Rev. William Lisle Bowles, Canon Residentiary of Salisbury, and father of the living " Poets of
Great Britain."

Hie subject of this notice arrived in India toward the close of the year 1821, and joined his Regiment
at Dum Dum, where the amenity and playfulness of his disposition, coupled with his frank and manly
spirit, soon rendered him a general favorite with his brother-officers. He remained here however,
bat a short time,^nd the cause of his removal may not be considered unworthy of mention. At the
time Lieut. Burlton arrived in India society was much divided, and party spirit rose high consequent
on the bold and decided terms in which Mr. Buckingham was in the habit of animadverting on the
measures of Government in his Calcutta Journal, as well as on the then *' Vexata Questio" now hap-
pily set at rest, of the safety or otherwise of allowing freedom to the Indian press. It chanced, whilst
matters were in this state, that an officer of the Artillery, without the slightest reference to politics,
inTited Mr. Buckingham to the Regiment mess, on some public occasion, as his personal friend and
gnest, and Mr. Buckingham very naturally attended accordingly. The Commandant (the late Major
General Hardwicke) who was one of the most strenuous opponents of Mr. Buckingham's principles
and press, seemed to think tliat the mess-room could never be sufficiently purified from the pollution
brought on it, by the attendance at its festivities, of this dreaded incarnation of Radicalism, and he
accordingly convened Sundry meetings and proposed sundry resolutions for the adoption of his offi-
cers, all tending to the one great object, the exclusion, thereafter. Of the dreaded Editor, from the
R^;imental Mess. The young, the liberal, and the independent spirits (and chief amongst them was the
subject of this notice) fought manfully in opposition to the propositions tendered to their acceptance,
and asserted, with an honest frankness, their perfect right to invite to their Mess, any gentlemen of their
acquaintance of irreproacliable private character, let his politics be what they might. They fought the
good fight, but it was the fight of the weak against the strong, of the Subaltern against the General
and the result need not be doubted. Lieut. Burlton and another young officer (Lieut. Wiggins) who
had been the principal leaders of the independant party, were selected as examples, *' pour encourager
ies antres," and the latter was immediately ordered off to Agra, whilst the former was banished to the
then comparatively little known, but generally considered most unhealthy province of Assam. Here the
active energies of this lamented young officer found more scope for their development ; during the
Burmese war which soon afterwards broke out, he was actively employed in the field, and honorably
mentioned in the public despatches, and on the termination of hostilities he devoted himself with
unwearying zeal, and at the cost of much toil and privation, to the important object of discovering the
sources of the Burrampooter and Irrawaddy and of solving several Geographical questions, on which
Klaproth and other men of science of Europe as well as in India, were at issue, or in doubt. It would

376 DIBROOGHUR.

be out of place to enter further into this subject here, and it may suffice therefore, to say that his health
having suffered from the toilsome journeys, the exposure and privations to which he subjected himself,
in the course of his researches, he proceeded in company with his friend Lieut, Bedingfield, to seek its
restoration at the then newly established sanatarium at Nunklow, in the Cossya Hills.

The tragical event that ensued is too well known to render any detached statement of it here,
necessary. We content ourselves therefore with adding the subjoined account of the transaction, taken
from a letter written at the time.

Extract from a private letter .—

*' You have heard no doubt by this time, of the melancholy &tes of poor Bedingfield and Burlton,
who were both barbarously murdered at Nunklow near Gowhatty, the former on the 4 th and the latter
on the 5th instant ; both had gone there for the benefit of their health, four or five hundred Kooaeahs
and Garrows surrounded the house and poor Bedingfield went out amongst them unarmed to see what
they wanted ; they immediately seized him and after tying his hands behind his back and cutting the
tendons of his legs, commenced shooting at him with their arrows. It is said that he told them, if it
was his life they wanted, to kiU him outright at once, which they accordingly did, and cutting off his
head planted it on the rock where a house formerly stood ; poor Burlton, upon his seeing his friend's
fate defended the house, assisted by a few Sepoys of the Assam L. I. and his servants, and held out in
gallant style for a day and a night, until the house was set on fire when they sallied out and made good
a retreat of about ten miles towards Gowhattie, and by keeping up a constant fire kept the savages off,
until a dreadful shower of rain coming on, wetted their ammunition and rendered their fire arms of
no use. The small party then dispersed, a few of those who took shelter in the jungle escaped, but
Burlton and an European writer (Bowman) having both kept the pathway, were immediately massacred.
Tlie former was in the act of extracting an arrow from his wrist, when he was cut down, being in an
exhausted state from the immense exertions he had made and his previous ill health." Thus fell near
Nunklow (Assam) on the 4th of April 1829, Lieut. Philip Bowles Burlton of the Bengal Artillery, at
the premature age of twenty-five years and four months. This intelligent, active and interprising young
officer, short as was his allotted career, had already distinguished himself by his persevering and labori-
ous researches to discover the sources of the Burrampooterand Irrawaddee, and had added considerably
to the scanty knowledge before possessed of the Geography of the country to the North of Assam. By
his untimely death, the Government has lost a zealous and an active public servant, the Artillery Regi-
ment has lost a member, who, had his life been spared, would have been one of its brightest orna-
mcntj(, and society has lost a tru ly upright and honorable man. Possessed as he was of the highest
principles of rectitude, of liberality of sentiment, and conduct seldom met with and of an amenity of
disposition and temper, that few provocations could disturb, he was known only to be beloved and
respected. The melancholy termination of his career, will be honored with the tears and regrets of
all who knew his worth, they will truly prove the estimation in which he was held and shed a bright
lustre over his early grave. Multis ille bonis fleblis occidit, Nulli flebilior mihi.

Not far from Nunklow is a beautiful spot known by the name of ** Ostrich Hill," and on its sum-
mit stands a humble Monument (bearing the Inscription above recorded) under which are deposited
the remains of the two attached friends, Lieuts. Bedingfield and Burlton which were recovered soon after
their massacre. A few months afterwards Mr. Beadon who was sincerely attached to them both, was
killed in action with Seirut Sing and his miscreants, and his name has been onited on the Momunent,
with those of his friends, in avenging whose deaths he met his own.

We cannot more appropriately conclude this notice, than with the following lines, extracted from a
piece written by the Rev. Mr. Lisle Bowles, on a view of a range of Ghauts in th^ East IndieSt *nd
published in one of the English Annuals soon after the sad event to which it refers : —

'* And can I look upon this sunny scene of Asia, can I look upon those hills, the distant CSfaants and
not remember him, the poor youth, bound to me by dearest ties, whom there, with yells, the mar.
derous savages, hunted to death ? Ah, faint upon the sands he sinks — ^he bleeds — his hand is on his
breast, he thinks upon his mother ! He is dead !'"*'

'< Mother and brothers, all he loved on earth, mourn his untimely doom, yet moumingi say, ' Tliere
is another and a better world.' "

AGRA.

LTEUT.-COLONEL JOSEPH TAYLOR— rO^ the Bngineer$.)

Lieut.. Col. Joseph Taylor arrived in India in 1808, his first Commission as Lieutenant being dated
in October of that year ; he was almost immediately posted to Agra as Assistant to Captain Steele, tlie Gar-
rison Engineer, to whose appointment he eventually succeeded, retaining it till 1826, between which period
and 1830, when he returned to Agra, as Superintending Engineer of the North Western Provinces,
he successively filled the situations of Executive Engineer at Dinapore, Garrison Engineer and Civil
Architect of Fort William, and for a short period, that of acting Chief Engineer.

In the early part of his service at Agra Lieutenant Taylor was frequently employed in the reduction
of the numerous small forts in the vicinity of this station, at that time occupied by refractory simeen-
dars, whom the recollection of successful resistance to the attempted collectiona of former native
Governors, and ignorance of our power, occasionally led to vain opposition to the British Revenue
Authorities, or an endeavour to protect the hordes of freebooters by which the Agra district was tbea
infested. The cool and determined courage of Lieut. Taylor was manifest in all these affairs, and
opportunity was not wanting for its conspicuous display on more than one occasion.

In the year 1810 Lieutenant Taylor was selected by the Government to repair the Taj, and when the
limited sum granted for that repair, as compared with the extent of work ezecnted is considered, the
praise bestowed by his superiors, on his completion of the duty, must meet with general aosent. The re-
pairs of the tomb of the Emperor Akbar at Secundra, was another of his duties, and although duing the
many years that have elapsea since the task was completed, nothing has been done to maintain the state
of repairs in which he placed it, the structure bears fill evidence of his zealous exertions. Many other
public works of beauty and utility, might be instanced as well at the Presidency aa at Agra, in proof
of his taste and ability in this branch of his profession.

But it was not in the execution of his Civil duties alone that this gallant officer merits o«r notice.
He was found a volunteer at Hattrass in 1817, and was present during the siege and redaction of that
fortress, the last and infinitely the strongest of the Forts of this class, that had occasionally defied our
power, since the provinces of Agra and Dooba had become subject to the British rule. He was pro-
moted to the rank of Captain on the Ist of September 1818, and in this rank was among the most dis-
tinguished of the officers of his corps. At the siege and capture of Bhurtpoor in 1825 and 26, having
been severely wounded in an attempt to blow up a gallery made by the enemy into the ditch, which
greatly impeded tlie operation of the attacking force. For the gallantry displayed by Captain Taylor
on this occasion, be received the personal and written thanks of (he Commander-in-Chief. His ser-
vices at Bhurtpoor were further acknowledged by his promotion from the date of the ftdl of that for-
tress to a Brevet Majority.

His promotion to the rank of Lieutenant -Colonel took place on the 18th June 1831, and as the
senior officer of this grade, in his corps, he died at the early age of 45 at Agra, on the morning of the
20th April 1835, from an apoplectic attack, leaving behind him a general feeling of respect for his
memory and of sympathy with those by whom his loss must he most severely felt.

Sacred to the Memory of the Rev. Father Francis, of St. Etienne,
Apostolic Missionary of the Capuchin Order, who during the performance of his sacred duties,
towards the Catholic Soldiers of the British Army, fell a victim, by the sword of the enemy,
in the field of Moodkie, on the 1 8th December 1845, aged 34 yean.
A martyr of charity whom no danger could deter from attending to his flock, a vigilant, fiidthfal
.shepherd. He attended the Cabool troops at Ferozepore, was present with them at Mahorajpore,
administering to their spiritual wants wiien cholera was afflicting Agra in 1843, and raging in Meenit
in 1845. He was seen day and night in the Hospitals, venerated and beloved by Cotholios, esteemed
and aduurcd by those of a different creed. Friend to all, an enemy to none, seolous for the honor
and glory of God, unaffected in his piety and devotion, compassionate to the widow, orphan and poor.
He sealed his glorious course with his blood, for tlie sake of those whom Christ had redeemed.

deeoended from an ancient family of the same name, formerly settled in Cumberland, and owning lands
of considerable extent in that country ; he was bred to a maritime life and made many ▼03rage8 in the
earlier part of his career to various parts of the world, and in the year 1827, settled in India as an In-
digo Planter, and became possessed of considerable property in Indigo Factories, and landed estates.
Owing to the enmity incurred by a long course of successful litigation with Maheshnarain Singh, a
Zemindar of the Juanpore district, for the possession of a large estate the property of the ancestors of
Maheshnarain, he was attacked in his house at Furreedabad near the Oudh frontier on the night of the
15th December (Sunday at midnight) and cruelly murdered by, it is generally supposed, a band of Dacoita
employed by that person, who was arrested and tried for the crime, but in the absence of any direct
evidence acquitted. The late Mr. Barwise at the various stages of his Indian career filled the offices
of Sub-Deputy Opium Agent of Juanpore, Government Sarawsd, Secretary of the Juanpore Free School,
&c., with much credit ; as the founder of a School at Furreedabad in connection with the Church
Missionary Society and many other acts of beneficence and kindness towards the natives among whom
he was most deservedly popular, the late Mr. Barwise is justly entitled to be ranked among the bene-
factors of India.

The remains of Mr. Barwise were interred in the Juanpore cemetery ; the Monument over his remains
bears the following Inscription : —

departed friends, Mr. Crawford left the station
for his factory, and in a few days returned, bear-
ing with him the same horrible complaint which
he too well knew^ had a short time previously
carried off his friends and brother planters. He
lingered a few days, and his friends, the officers,
had the same melancholy task to perform in which
Mr. Crawford had but so recently joined. One
Monument covers the remains of three as fine
young men as ever lived.

Health shall once more renew the joyous stream.
Throughout thy languid frame, and we shall come
Again with gladden'd souls to our lov*d home.

Dashed the bright hope, and laid the victim low,
Quench'd in the dust the visionary ray.
And darken'd all that glittered once so gay.
Beloved Grace, thy sunny smile is gone.
And deeply now we feel we are alone.
Yet must thy loss be borne ; Almighty God,
Commands us murmur not benea& my rod.
He, th* eternal one who cannot lie.
Hath hush'd to peace the agoniiing righ,

In the 38th Regiment there has been several victims to the Baumunghattee fever. A second relapse
deprived the Corps of their Commandant, Lieut. -Colonel Dorvton, on the 1st Ootober 1832, a man
beloved by officers and men. Tlie character of Colonel Doveton as an officer has long been known and
deservedly esteemed at Head Quarters. It was not possible for any one to show more devoted zeal in
the performance of his professional duties. In private life, Colonel Doveton's manners endeared him
to all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, and, every officer of his corps will tay that, in
losing him they have lost a true friend. During the encampment of the corps at Bhamongatty Lieut. -
Colonel Doveton, from an anxious wish to do his duty as a Soldier, and from a desire of setting a good
example to all under his command, accompanied every party, however small, which was detached on
duty. Subsequently when, after he had been su tiering severely from a very violent attack of the deadly
fever, it was suggested to him by the medical men to leave the corps and go into cantonments, he re-
plied, *' I will not leave all those young men under my command behind me. I consider myself not
only their Commanding officer but in the light of a parent. I will be the last European in the Regi-
ment to leave the camp." A speech so creditable to liis character as an officer ; and so honourable to
his feelings as a man, ought to be recorded on his Tomb. The following Inscription is copied from his
Monument : —

who died on the 1st October 1832, aged 48 years.

CAPTAIN GEORGE HENRY MITFORD DXLhY, —Cl^te of the 6Sth Reffiment Bengal Native
hrfantry^ and Assistant Secretary to Government in the Military Department^

Captain Dalby left Calcutta in the suite of his Excellency the Right Honorable the Governor
General, early in February 1834, he was taken ill on board the Ship " Orietitr'* the vessel in which he
sailed for Madras, and on his arrival there, his illness assumed a serious aspect. He recovered how-
ever so much as to be able to join his Lordship at Bangalore, and thence to go on to the Hills, when
it was discovered that his liver was the seat of incurable disease, and his medical attendants gave up
all hope of his recovery. He was supported during the closing scene of his existence on earth by
a calm reliance on the blessed truths of revelation, and he died looking solely to Jesus Christ for ac-
ceptance before God.

Though he consistently discharged the duties of life and delighted in the exercise of benevolence and
charity, he felt, as the hour of his dissolution drew nigh, that he had nothing in himself to offer as the
ground of his admission to the presence of a holy God. He considered all he had done too deeply
defiled with nature's sinfulness and imperfection to constitute a righteousness of any value in the eye
of Him, who searcheth the heart, and he rested exclusively on this gracious assurance — " The blood of
Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin." His latter end was emphatically peace. For him " the valley of
the shadow of death" seemed to have no ttrrori*, his prospects being bright and cloudless, penetrating
the darkness and gloom of the grave.

Ills last words were " Christ is my all in all, my hopes are all there. And I heard a voice from
heaven saying utito me, write blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, saith
the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours, and their works do follow them."

Captain Dalby died at Otacamund in the Neelghcery Hills, on the night of the 13th May 1834.

NEEMUCH.

COLONEL THOMAS DAVID STEUART.— ri^fl/e of the Ut Regiment qf lAght Cavalry.)
Colonel T. D. Steuart, Commanding the 1st Regiment of Light Cavalry, was a man of superior
talents, and of extensive acquirements. He was an excellent officer, and selected to command the
10th Regiment Light Cavalry, when it was raised in 1825. He soon brought it to a very high state
of discipline, and was universally beloved and respected by the officers and men. He was again
selected for the command of the 1st Regiment of Light Cavalry (to which he had formerly belonged)
by the late Coinniander-in Chief. Colonel Steuart never held any political appointment, exceptin|^ some
brief employment in Malwa, under Sir John Malcolm, who had a high opinion of his merit. Many of
those who knew him well, regretted that he had not been thrown into that line of employment, in which
they thought he would have been highly distinguished. He was present throughout all' Lord Lake's
Campaigtis ; he had a perfect command of tem))er, and a thorough knowledge of the Native character,
and of the Hindoostanee language ; great firmness in command, mixed with great mildness of manner.
He went to Europe with Sir John Malcolm, by the way of Egypt, and before his retam to India,
he travelled much in the South of Europe. He hud seen and read so much that he was a most agree-
able com])union, and his honourable and amiable friend, while there was something frank and o|>en in
his manners, that was particularly engaging, and which conciliated strangers almost at first sight.

The Bens^al Army, and particularly the branch of the service to which he belonged, has sustained
a great loss by his death. It was quite unexpected, and may be considered as premature, for his con-
stitution was excellent ; his spare muscular frame was capable of enduring great fatigue ; and he bore
exposure to the weather and to the burning heats of the climate better than most men. Colonel
Steuart died at Neemuch, on the 10th October 183G.

COCOS ISLAND.

COMMODORE SIR JOHN HAYES, KNIGHT.

Commodore Sir John Hayes, Senior officer of the Indian Navy, and Master Attendant of Calcutta,
died on the 3d of July 1831, at Cocos Island, in lat. 41 N. long. 111.43 E.

Integrity and generosity of disposition were united in his character, with gallantry and skill in hi«
profession, which led to rewards from the Government he served, as well as from the King ; in 178i-3,
while Midshipman of the * Bombay' and ' Intrepid,' he cut out two vessels in Mangalore roads,
and was })resent assisting at the capture of Cundapore, Onore, Mangalore, and Merjee Forts. From
1781 to 1788, he was employed as Midshipman and Lieutenant on board of various cmisers at Bus-
soroli, Calcutta, Canton, Penang, &c. and was even employed occasionally in active land service; when
the war broke out with Tip])oo Sultan, in 1790-1, he was attached to the Army of General Aber-
crombie, and was present assisting at the capture of Carlie, Canannorc, Beliapatam, 8ce. After the close
of the war in 1793-4, he commanded two vessels, viz. the •* Duke of Clarence" and the '* Duchess,'' on a
voyage of discovery, when he explored Van Dieman's kind, on the Derwent river, the South- West sides of
New Caledonia, South-East and North coasts of New Guinea, the Molucca Islands, Timor, the whole
North and South-East face of Java, from Cape Sandano westward, having passed through the Straits
of Madura, and presented the first instance of the progress of a British Ship through that intricate
channel. During this expedition he adopted such humane and judicious measures in reference to the
intercourse of the expedition with the savage inhabitants of several of the places he explored, that not
a single life on either side was ever compromised or lost in a quarrel. On his retam to India, he was
employed as first Lieutenant on board the Ship ** Jehnnguire," armed in concert with the H. C. Ships
'* Exeter,"and " Brunswick, "for the express pur])ose of intercepting the French national squadron undier
Commodore Renau, consisting of the Frigates *' Sybille," " Prudente," and *' Moineaa,"who appeared off
Diu, and threatened the destruction of that settlement. In 1 797, he was selected to proceed on a miMum to
the Hakim of Somneana, to demand restitution of a British Ship carried into the river Arbis, or Arabis
of Nearchus, a port in that Prince's dominions. He was furnished with an armed vessel (the ** Vigilant")
carrying six two pounders and manned with a crew of 18 Natives, in addition to his personal escort,
consisting of seven Artillerymen, two European Seamen and twenty-two Seapoys. On the 13th of
January, close in with the Island of Buti, at the entrance of the Gulph of Catch, he was attacked by
Pirates, and the action which ensued was, perhaps, one of the most desperate ever recorded. Lieutenant
Hayes had the lobe of his right car shot away, his right cheek cut in two and his upper jawbone
shattered to pieces. This wound was inflicted by a gingall piece, fired close to bis head, and was of a
frightful character. His life was for a considerable period endangered by it, and his coonte&ance to
the last suificiently indicated the seriousness of the original injury.

DARJEELING.— UMBALLA. 397

He was next employed with Colone Little's Detachment until the reduction of Seringapatam. Af-
terwards, in command of the ** Alert/' he landed on the Island of Keara, mounting 200 pieces of Can-
non, recovered a British vessel taken in there, and caused the Pirate, Rajah Augria, to pay 500 per cent,
upon the cargo deficient through plunder. In 1800, commanding the ** Fly" Gun-Brig, while cruizing
atcainst the Vengorla pirates, he captured and dismantled their principal Battery, on the height of
Vengorla. In 1801-2, he was Captain of the '* Swift," of 20 Guns, and chief of the Marine at the
Moluccas ; during which period he commanded the S(}uadron which mainly contributed to the capture
of Ternate, the chief seat of the Dutch Government in that quarter, and with the ** Swift," defeated and
partly destroyed a fleet of forty sail of Maghidanao pirate vessels, and thereby saved the Company's
settlements in the Celebes. In 1803-4-5, he was Captain of the " Bombay" Frigate and Commander of
the Bengal Marine. During this Command, he asserted the just rights of bis honorable Masters,
upon the coast of Sumatra, by recapturing the Fort of Muckie, and recovering the remaining part of
their ordnance, stores. Sec. taken through the treachery of the Malay inhabitants. During the time he
commanded the Royal Squadron, no British Merchant's Ship or property suffered by capture, within
the limits of his cruize or authority. In 1807, while in England, he was appointed by the Court of
Directors, Deputy Master Attendant at Calcutta, and to succeed to the station of Master Attendant, on
the death or resignation of the incumbent, without prejudice to his rank, and standing in the Bom-
bay Marine ; and in 1809, he succeeded to the situation of Master attendant. In 1811, he received a
Commodore's Commission of the first class, from the Governor General in Council, for the expedition
to Java. On this occasion he commanded a .Squadron of nine Vessels of War, and all the other
ships and vessels employed by the Company on the above service.

His last actual service was during the Burmese War, when he commanded the armed Flotilla as a flag-
officer on the Aracan coast. His performance of the duties of Master Attendant at Calcutta, gave the
highest satisfaction, as appears from the testimonials of respect from the mercantile community.
Successive ruling authorities paid him high marks of honourable consideration, and the honour of
